#2We need technology to be either so stupid it's easy to adapt, or so smart it adapts to us.
But not smart enough to betray us.

#3Most of these built-in fridges have some (non-obvious) method to remove them from the wall fairly easily. Typically, built in fridges are mounted using a couple screws (check the manual) to the underside of the top cabinetry, and are simply slid into their slot.
This may be useful information in case you decide you feel like cleaning the condenser fan, which may help the fridge work better and more efficiently.

Alternately, attack the problem from the perspective of ownership.
My refrigerator is capital equipment, I--possibly with the help of other purchasers--should be able to make it "smarter" or "dumber" as I please.

#5cool hack and all, but id question what requirement there is to intentionally leave your fridge open for more than a minute and waste copious amounts of energy to get back to original temp.

If OP was interested in their fridge working more efficiently, they probably wouldn't have become so invested in being able to leave the door open for so long without being warned about it.

Some people like to solve problems that don't exist and then try to convince the rest of us that the problem did exist so we can pat them on the back. Generally the only time the fridge would need to be open longer than a minute is if you're cleaning it or adding new groceries and rearranging things, but in those situations it's trivial to press the alarm off button.

I have the unfortunate "habit" of writing in the style of chatgpt, even before chatgpt existed. So no, not a chatgpt comment.

Right? I was raised that way. My girlfriend clearly wasn't. I always close the door in between grabbing/fetching more stuff to put inside. It takes a couple of seconds I guess, but keeping it open for a long time is just really wasteful.
