My fucking Samsung Refrigerator refused to cool until I paired it to a mobile app. It wasn't even one of those fancy tablet screen ones. It beeped at me for hours until I had the time to figure out wtf was wrong with it.

That's insane. I know it's a ball ache to move them but I'd have taken that thing right back and gotten a refund.

Yeah, I would have to if I had chosen it, but it was probably the cheapest stainless steel they carried in that size. Landlord replacement when the last fridge crapped out

He can pair it to the phone app or whatever on his device then; his fridge, his problem.
