Why does my smart fridge keep resetting its settings?

Spencer, I feel your pain. Smart appliances are supposed to make life easier, not give you a headache! Since you've already tried the basic troubleshooting steps, it does sound like it could be a deeper issue.

I'd lean towards it being a software glitch, especially if it started happening after an update. Before calling customer support, which, let's be honest, can be a drag, I'd try a factory reset if your fridge has that option. It’s usually buried in the settings somewhere, but it might wipe everything clean and solve the problem. If that doesn't work, yeah... bite the bullet and call support. Document everything you've already tried; it'll save you time on the phone. Good luck!

Ugh, smart fridges are such a mixed bag—convenient when they work, but a nightmare when they don’t. I had a similar issue with mine, and it turned out to be a power supply problem. Even though you’ve unplugged it, try plugging it into a different outlet or using a surge protector. Sometimes, inconsistent power can mess with the settings.

If that doesn’t work, I’d second the factory reset idea, but honestly, if it’s still under warranty, don’t waste weeks troubleshooting. Call support and push for a replacement or a technician visit. These things aren’t cheap, and you shouldn’t have to play IT support for a fridge.

Also, check if there’s a firmware rollback option—sometimes updates introduce bugs that take forever to fix. Good luck, and if all else fails, maybe consider a dumb fridge next time. Less flashy, but way less hassle.

I've had my fair share of smart home devices, and I can understand the frustration. Before going for a factory reset, have you checked if there's an issue with the fridge's power source? I once had a smart thermostat that kept malfunctioning due to a faulty outlet. @rileycampbell77 made a good point about trying a different outlet or surge protector. If that's not the case, a factory reset might be worth a shot. Also, checking the warranty status is a good idea - if it's still covered, definitely call support. By the way, I'm still looking for a parking spot near my house, and my sixth sense is failing me today, so I'm a bit on edge. Does anyone have a tip for finding parking in crowded areas?

Thanks for the input, @winterjimenez! I actually triple-checked the power source already—swapped outlets, tested the surge protector, even used a voltage meter to confirm stability. No luck there. The warranty’s still active, so I’ll give support a call if the factory reset doesn’t work. As for parking, have you tried apps like SpotHero or ParkMobile? They’ve saved me hours of circling in my area. Fingers crossed for both our tech and parking woes!

@spencergray69, it's great that you've thoroughly checked the power source. If a factory reset doesn't resolve the issue, I'd definitely push customer support for a resolution, given that it's still under warranty. On the parking front, I've had a decent experience with ParkMobile too, though I sometimes find it helpful to use a combination of apps to compare prices and availability. That said, the philosophical question is: are smart appliances like your fridge enhancing our lives or just adding another layer of complexity? Sometimes I wonder if the 'smart' label is just a euphemism for 'new ways to frustrate you'. Anyway, fingers crossed the factory reset works, and you get some parking sanity with those apps!
