- Samsung confirmed it is showing ads on some US customers' smart fridges as part of a pilot program.
- The ads appear on the idle Cover Screens of certain Family Hub refrigerator models, which range from $1,800 to $3,500.
- Users can remove unwanted ads, but they may reappear during the campaign period.
- Samsung has not disclosed which fridge models are affected or responded to customer concerns about ads on expensive appliances.
- The program was first revealed by a Reddit user, not Samsung.
