That's what you get for buying a Samsung fridge, that's all on you. When I was buying my home appliances Samsung was consistently the least recommended and lowest rated. When I moved into my current home it came with all Samsung appliances so I ripped them all out and swapped them into my old house so I could keep the set of quality appliances I already had.
It's been some years since I've considered them while shopping but their sales pitch was advanced features on a budget price. Not all of their appliances are cheap but compared to other brands with similar features they would be at least hundreds of dollars cheaper. Very mixed reviews.
Some people would complain about noise, but a lot of times the advanced features you were saving money on became extra points of failure to worry about. The stuff breaks because it's cheaper made and when you need service their North American repair and maintenance infrastructure was lacking. They really seemed to want to push you towards "fixing" your appliances by buying a new one.
The real nightmare though is if they start putting ads on the budget models and home builders and flippers start installing them for you to move into. Or worse yet if they start incentivizing landlords or public housing to install them. Imagine them trying to partial fund Section 8 housing by requiring these in every unit playing ads
