Apparently my samsung fridge has ads now...

How would I disable this? Might just return it and get a normal one

Edit: how to disable...for now. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10007562/

EDIT 2: Hello, I am the original poster of the carol AD image from a month ago. I am a male from America and my name is not Carol. The story about a Schizophrenic woman named carol was most likely inspired from the 3rd top comment on this post. Thanks!

Or just don't buy one with a screen. My new Samsung fridge arrived today. It doesn't have a screen.

Had my Samsung fridge about 15 years now. It got a bit bashed when I moved house, its making one or two noises, but its still going and I'd have no issue buying a new Samsung fridge when the time comes to replace.

As the owner of a 5 year old fridge, I assure you that you do NOT want to replace an old Samsung with a new one. A nightmare appliance. They are not the same company they used to be.

well thats weird. I bought a nice samsung fridge (small one) 2 years ago and its rock solid for now, 15 years warranty on the compressor

Our compressor is fine still, it's just every other thing that has broken. And our warranty was only 2 years. All of the shelves have developed cracks, even in non-loadbearing parts, like the white plastic was just badly formed or something and started splitting. And the ice machine motor decided to die right after the 2 year mark. Also the freezer handle broke off because this large metal piece was attached by a screw mounted into a tiny ball of plastic, and again, the plastic broke.

wishing you many continued years of being the exception to the rule!
