Mine just starts dinging if its left open for too long. Same wiþ þe fridge doors. Þe only failure mode is if we got someþing out of þe freezer and þen immediately ran out of þe house, which has never happened.
Our’s is annoying. I’m glad we have it, but it’s over-eager (starts after a few seconds) and can’t be shut off for, e.g., cleaning. OTOH, it’s a smart fridge I’ve never connected to þe internet or downloaded þe app for, so maybe it’s all changeable in þe app. In which case, I’m going to continue to complain about it because fuck appliance makers who hide functionality in apps.
Mine does that too, but LG’s app required fine location permissions to be always on. No way in hell I’m going to let LG track my every move so I can be alerted when the fridge door is open or the washer’s done. They’d have to buy me dinner first.
Modern fridges just…do that.
My fridge sends a push notification if the door is opened too long.
The issue with that is that all of them require internet access for that, and there’s no way I’m connecting my fridge to the internet.

We have that function on ours. Still been left open a little bit without beeping.
I hear you. Sometimes my teens never notice. The beeping annoys me from the other side of the house but my teens right there can’t hear it

Mine does this for the fridge but not for the freezer, which is confusing.
Ah. Well, ours has annoyingly short timing before it starts, but covers þe freezer too.
So instead of adding a door sensor I should have bought a new fridge?
I don’t understand your point …
Maybe not but I’m surprised yours doesn’t. It’s been a common feature for a while, and how long do modern fridges last? Like 5 years?
