Question
A refrigerator without a Shabbat device is used with a timer to turn it off during meals so it can be opened. Is there an issue of 'migu de-itkasai' if it was operating during twilight? What is the solution for this?
Answer
Shalom Rav
Since it was set to stop its operation by the timer, it is not considered 'itkasai during twilight'.
This permission is called 'gemaro b'yedei adam'.
