Most of these built-in fridges have some (non-obvious) method to remove them from the wall fairly easily. Typically, built in fridges are mounted using a couple screws (check the manual) to the underside of the top cabinetry, and are simply slid into their slot.

This may be useful information in case you decide you feel like cleaning the condenser fan, which may help the fridge work better and more efficiently.

If OP was interested in their fridge working more efficiently, they probably wouldn't have become so invested in being able to leave the door open for so long without being warned about it.
I installed the fridge freezer myself a few years back, its inside an integrated unit and fairly complicated to remove. I would need to gut the fridge freezer of items, detach and remove the front unit doors from the fridge, detach the fridge from the side panels and the wall, remove the skirting to get under to remove the wall plug and then physically and delicately lift the fridge freezer to be able to slide it out. This is all without the guarantee that there is even a convenient way to gain access the main board.
Is this one of those chatgpt comments?
I have the unfortunate "habit" of writing in the style of chatgpt, even before chatgpt existed. So no, not a chatgpt comment.
The article is about stopping the fridge beeping when you leave the door open.

Your comment is about removing a fridge from the wall.

Maybe you should reread the article? The introductory motivational paragraph talks about the difficulty of getting to the main board which is in the back of the fridge.
It's not the style so much as commenting on a random unimportant part of the article instead of the substance of the article. I had to reread to figure out why you were addressing the ability to move the fridge since it didn't even click as being mentioned in the article on the first read.
