That.... That's actually a good point... ๐ค
Not really. A motor is a much more complicated device than just a sensor, and it doesn't fix if there's anything blocking the door.
..and the sensor might just be the temperature sensor itself checking if the temperature is too high for too long.
The real reason is that by convincing users to install Samsung apps they can collect and monetise personal data.
They already put pumps and motors in the fridge for ice & water.
Potentially it's for safety reasons. I'd be so scared of a cat or kid going in the fridge and it auto shutting them in
