I tested this when my LG fridge was new, and got a warning when I left the door open. Quite helpful. But still disabled.
The regular beeping speaker/piezo solves the same problem without WiFi or other shenanigans.
My LG fridge also beeps, as any other fridge would. I guess the added benefit is that it can send a notification to your phone, maybe useful in some scenarios, all it costs is your privacy..
It needs wifi for the open-door alarm? My dumb GE fridge can do that without smart features.
