re: Family unable to get $4,300 "smart" fridge repaired because nobody is trained to repair it

Story is shite. Smart Refrigerators cool and freeze exactly the way stupid refrigerators do so. They are just as fixable. The cooling parts are probably transferable across other refrigerators in the line. $3,000 to $7,000 non-built in fridges are common.

I probably have the same fridge. I think we only paid $3,900. Its integrated with other smart appliances and kits thru the house and we use the features a smart fridge provides often.
