Abstract
An appliance includes a camera for calibrating and determining whether the door of the appliance is in a closed position. A controller is operably coupled to the camera. The controller is configured for obtaining one or more images of the appliance chamber or door. An artificial intelligence image recognition process is used to perform image classification and establish a baseline image to determine whether subsequent closing of the appliance door is successful. In the event of a failure to obtain the baseline image or a determination that the door is not closed, operation of the appliance may be disabled.
