Your fridge is now a smart brick.
Samsung fridge update bricks the cooling, spoils the food
A firmware update pushed to Samsung smart refrigerators in South Korea knocked out the cooling function, and owners report food spoiling as a result. The update governs the fridge's smart features but apparently sits in the same control loop that runs basic refrigeration, so when it failed, so did the cold. Samsung has not said how many units are affected or what it plans to do for customers whose groceries are already in the bin.
