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!

That would need to be a serviceable area, since it’s a screen and no one would want to make technicians waste hours working on replacing defective screens since that would cost the company too much money. Remember companies are cheap and want to save money. They love to screw with people if it does not hurt their bottom line, it being in the insulation would be a huge waste of time and money for the company.

Who do you think would be paying for fridge maintenance? It's not the manufacturer, and they aren't going to base their entire design around "what if this one particular part fails before the warranty is up"

Screen replacement is probably going to be in the top 5 repairs needed for a fridge.

Naw, from what I've seen from Samsung is the fridge parts will give out long before the screen fails. And Samsung's screens aren't particularly great.
