Owners mourn spoiled food after firmware update bricks Samsung smart fridges

A firmware update for Samsung smart refrigerators left the appliances non-functional, with owners reporting the devices could no longer cool or connect to the SmartThings app. Users took to social media to complain that hundreds of dollars of groceries, including milk, meat and produce, had spoiled inside the still-warm units. Samsung has not yet announced a fix or a compensation plan, and some owners say customer support directed them to reset the fridge, which did not restore cooling.
