My Samsung Refrigerator was Radiating My Family! (video below)
Original Article By Shaun Kranish, the EMF Explorer
I've been a big fan of Samsung. We have a
number of Samsung appliances and other devices - and have never had
issues (until now). They seem to make high quality devices which are
reliable as well. However, the other day I realized our new
refrigerator was putting out RF radiation constantly!!!
You see, so many new appliances have WiFi
or "Smart" capability inside them - active straight from the factory -
and will fill your entire house with RF radiation pulses constantly -
24/7 - starting the moment you give them electricity. ZigBee is the
trade name for some of this technology - the "Internet of things" - and
the idea that everything including our fridge needs to be monitored and
controlled remotely via a wireless network. Crazy. As I told Samsung -
I just want it to keep my food cool.
I measured before, but assumed what I was
hearing was coming from outside. Boy, was I wrong! I should have
double-checked when measuring by taking a baseline reading (with the
refrigerator off) and then with it on, because that would have caught it
for sure.
My mistake, and I am sharing it with you
so you don't make the same one. The easiest way to test ANY device you
suspect could be emitting is to shut it off - disconnect the power
completely (and if it has batteries those too - but most things don't) -
read with your meter, paying close attention to what is in the
background, then turn the device on and wait patiently to see if
anything new is added.
Samsung Customer Disservice

I called Samsung, asked to speak with
someone with technical knowledge so they could tell me if the wireless
signal could be disabled. Samsung tried to deny the fridge was putting
anything out, saying that if I didn't configure it and hook it up to a
WiFi router (I don't have one, of course) it wasn't putting anything
out. Completely false - it was constantly sending out beacons trying to
connect to a "smart meter." This isn't theoretical, it's measurable
verifiable fact - I used multiple instruments even.
In total I think I talked to 8 people
over 2-3 days. No one could help me, they just denied, were confused,
gave me the run-around, and we got no where. In the end they told me the
unit was functioning fine and according to specs, despite the fact it
is emitting RF radiation classified as a Class 2B Possible Carcinogen by
the World Health Organization, also confirmed to increase tumors (even
at very low RF transmission levels) in mice in a very important recent study.
The last "executive customer care"
representative I spoke with was actually laughing at me under her
breath, insulting and humiliating me like I'm crazy or irrational. I
was at a low point, but I told them that's fine, even though they
wouldn't just let me quickly ask a simple question of someone in a
technical department, I would figure it out myself. AND I DID...
I'm going to make a very quick follow up
video and show you how completely disabled this model's wireless
transmitter - it was so simple! No more radiation. Look for a new update in a couple days!
