Hello from LG,

This thread will house the Frequently Asked Questions about the new LG SmartThinQ app, with confirmed answers provided by the Community, LG US testing/troubleshooting, and the Mobile App Developers from Headquarters.

While this should cover some of the more common questions, we realize there may be questions more specific to your situation, or combination of devices.  For those questions, we ask that use the site's search to see if anyone else has asked it.  However, if the question has not been asked, please post it in the SmartThinQ App Questions thread.

How do you add a favorite washing cycle to the appt for a washer machine?

Goody2Shoes

Select your machine from the home screen.
From the drop down menu on the top right side, select wash cycle.
On this screen, choose the download cycle option.
Once you have chosen a cycle, select the star. This will set this cycle as a favorite.

Got a new LG OLED TV 65C8 PUA, which looks and works great. One problem: I cannot login on the Smart ThinQ TV App. No matter what I try, the app returns this error:

“<!> Failed to log in. Login information not valid.”

I have confirmed the login info for LG Smart ThinQ (which is a sep acct from my LG acct), tried removing & reinstalling the TV app, tried deleting and recreating the login info using the Smart ThinQ iPhone app. Same error regardless.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am from the Philippines. How do I connect my UK6500 TV to the Smart ThinQ app? I couldn't find any TVs on the Add (+) option.

Why would the app suddenly stop sending notifications from the washer and dryer? I have deleted it from both phones and reinstalled. That did not work. The app shows the status of the machines they are connected.

My app keeps saying I need to login.  The only option is to retry which ends up back at the same error message.  I’ve even deleted the app and reinstalled to no avail!

My app updated itself and deleted the registered products? How do i get them back without having to re register every product?

Hello. I have LG TV OLDED65C8PLA. I tried to access this from SmartThinQ App but there are not any TV available (only washigm mashines, air conditioners and so on). Is there any way to see the TV from the app? I need it to connect it with Amazon Echo Dot.
