I get about 90% through the registering of my 2476S refrigerator and it stops and errors out all the time. How do we get past the product registration hurdle with IOS and the SmartThinQ application?
We recently had a new LG Washer and Dryer installed at our
house. I was able to connect them both to the LG SmartThinQ app on my
iPhone and can control them from the app just fine. However, I am not
able to add them to my list of Alexa smart home devices. FYI, I have
about 10 smart switches, a thermostat and an LG Smart TV already connected to
my Amazon Alexa account. I did download the LG SmartThinQ – Complete
skill for Alexa. The skill is enabled in Alexa and linked to my LG
account. However, whenever I try to add the washer and/or dryer as a new
device, the Alexa app searches for 45-60 seconds but never finds either one to
add. (I also tried the LG SmartThinQ – Basic skill even though I read it
won’t work for appliances with the same failed result)
Here are the details about the new washer and dryer:
LG Washer
Model: WT1901CK
LG Dryer
Model: DLEY1901KE
I
have tried searching for help online but all the instructions I find do not go
into any more detail than what I have tried already. I would appreciate
some help in figuring out what needs to be done. Thank you.
i downloaded the Smartthinq app to connect my appliances and when i open up the app it says "Error you need to sign in to the SmartThinQ app." and when i hit retry i get the same error and when i click cancel the app closes. I am never given the opportunity to sign in.
Hello , I want to connect my LG 43UK6470PLC to Alexa!! I have followed all the steps from the tutorial. I have downloaded the lg smarthinQ app , I've logged in with the same lg account that I have setup on my Tv. My wifi name contains only English supported letters and is 2,4 ghz frequency. But I can't find my Tv on the apps device's list . I want to add my tv but i can't (. I NEED SOME HELP ( LG COSTUMERS SERVICE).
Hi i have just purchased LG 32LK6100PLB manual states magic remote ready i am confused as when i tried to buy this remote i'm being told its not the correct one for my TV( remote no is LG AN-MR18BA) can you please let me know if this is the correct one for this TV before i buy thank you
For me the app does not seem to support TVs at all. When I press + to add a product nothing resembling a TV shows up. I think @siddharth901 and @enzosol has the same issue.
And searching in the app only filter the choices in the dropdown, so can't find it there either. So how do I get the Smart ThinQ app to find my TV?
Hi, I just got your 49UK6300 model and connected my google assistant to it so I can use voice commands. My fiancé has tried to use the same voice commands but we keep getting an error that either 1) it doesn’t recognize her voice or 2) that she has no LG tv assigned to her account. After step 2 it says to go into settings and add google assistant manually but my google assistant account is already there. Can you add two google assistant accounts?
So I have an Lg phone and it was working fine, until a high temp. warning appeared and continues to appear every time I turn my phone on. Note the battery nor phone is even hot witch now is leading to my battery percent is jumping all over the place. If anyone has any idea about what's causing the problem or how to fix it please let me know.
I am unable to register my new Thinq tv on the smart Thinq app. I have followed the instructions from the LG site, and the TV has been registered to connect to my google account correctly. Despite all this, it is telling me that there is no product to register. Can someone please offer me any other suggestions or see if there is a glitch preventing me from setting this up? I am also unable to connect to the google assistant app and wonder if this is due to being unable to connect to the thinq app. Note: this has been tried on a Samsung, iPhone and iPad with the same result on all devices.
Hi! I just purchased the LG DLE3500W dryer and got it connected to the ThinQ app fine. It works great for preset cycles, but I’d like to use the remote feature with timed drying. Time shows in the app but it is disabled. Is there a way to use the remote feature (turn it back on for more time for instance) remotely?
I have an LG TV model UJ630V running webos 4.71.00 I can Chromecast to it, but want to use the Smart ThinQ app to control it The instructions on the LG site say to open the "Set up Google" app, but it doesn't seem to be there.
The web site also says it's only compatible with webOS 4.0 Does that mean that 4.71 (a later version) removed this functionality? Has it been replaced with an alternative method of smart control?
@ozzy6900 For step by step instructions along with screen shots of the app, please see the following link. If you are still unable to connect, please reach out to our support team at www.Facebook.com/LGUSSupport or via Twitter @LGUSSupport
@Wfinnegan These models do not have Wi-Fi capabilities. The machines would only communicate with the application when your phone is placed on the NFC icon.To enable this feature, go to the settings on your mobile device. Once there, locate the NFC option and enable. The phone would then need to be placed against the NFC Tag On icon on your appliance. This will allow you to download cycles and run the smart diagnosis feature.
I am trying to connect my washer and dryer to the Smart Thinq App using the Tag On feature. For both appliances it is failing at 30% when pairing by NFC. I have ensured that NFC and Android Beaming are on. My washer is Model WM3670HWA.
Hello Just purchased and installed a brand new LG Fridge LFXS26973D. After downloading the app, the instructions says to push the button for 3 seconds on the fridge so the Wifi symbol will appear. We push the button and the wifi lights starts to blink. Nothing else happens. What should I do next. I have android phone. The signal is strong according to my phone. Please help. Thank you MSK
I am trying to connect my smart TV (LG webOS TV UF800V) using Smart ThingQ app. I installed the Smart ThingQ app, but I can't see or select TV as a product when selecting this option (+). I am using iPhone 8 Can you let me know how I can overcome this problem?
I am trying to have remote access to my new washer and dryer. I have connected to them via Smart Thinq. I was able to download a cycle. However, I have not figured out how to monitor or control process. There are repeated references to "LG Smart Laundry and DW" but that app doesn't seem to exist. What should I do? Washer: WT7600HKA Dryer: DLGX7601KE
Just tried connecting my new Smart ThinQ refrigerator to wi fi network. The refrigerator wifi network appears on my iPhone as "LG_Smart_Fridge_BFBB" and I entered the password and it tells me the PASSWORD IS incorrect. The password listed on the app is 015E015E. Now I don't know if the "0" is a zero or the letter "O" but I tried both. It also states in the app that the password is case sensitive so I tried both a lowercase and uppercase "O" instead of a zero etc.
Anyone who comes up with a password that has a zero or a letter "O" in it and does not tell you it a number or letter must be an idiot.
So where do I go from here to get this connected to WiFi?
WiFi network = 4G with strong signal at both machines
I have tried for over a week now, to get these units to join my wireless network. First of all, the instructions on page 29 of the washer tell you to select Top Load Washer. There is no such selection in the app so I have been using General Washer. Both the units generate a SSID with no internet connection (as they should) and I am supposed to use the SSID suffix (in the washer's case, 2E5C) twice as the WPA password. In both cases (washer & dryer), when I follow the directions in Smart ThinQ, there is no where to enter the SSID suffix and I get a message "Incorrect password entered...". Now, I have tried (without using Smart ThinQ) to connect to the washer & dryer, just with the Samsung phone and I am able to enter the password and join both unit's network so it appears the trouble is in the Smart ThinQ app. I researched online and found that there are hundreds of LG customers that have simply given up trying to get the app working. What is the problem and how do I fix it?
Let me add that I am a retired IT technician with 40 years experience so please feel free to get as detailed as you need.
I just bought a 65" oled tv and have one magic remote control paired with the tv. Everytime i buy a tv i always get an extra remote control for my wife so we both can operate the tv without having to stand up and walk to go get the remote. I already bought this remote and tried to pair it but this tv only allows for one remote to work at any one time. I assume that with this tv you can only pair one remote to operate the tv with? I am asking that a software upgrade be made to accommodate the pairing of 2 remote controls for families like mine that require 2 remote controls. How bout it? Also, this oled tv will not allow my wireless headphones (Sennheisser HDR120) to work. The headphones connect to the audio out connector at the back of the tv but it still does not allow the headphones to work. Bluetooth headphones will pair with no problem but your tv cuts all audio signals to the tv when the Bluetooth headphones are used. I have a hearing deficit which is why I use the headphones quite often but when I do use the Bluetooth headphones my wife cannot hear the tv. The Sennheiser wireless headphones allow me wear them and it still had tv volume where my wife could also watch tv with me. Maybe another software upgrade to allow for the Sennheiser HDR 120 headphones to work?
I am a techie, having built my own computers and designed websites, so usually when I cannot get an application to work, and even your two level one support agents could not, it means there is something wrong with your server or your app.
This is why I requested a call, not an email, as I have already spent more than 4 hours with your reps with no solution.
Nevertheless, I have now spent another 45 minutes following your suggestions, and still have the same problems. I even had the dryer replaced, it also fails registration as does my new washer. I also turned my router off and on.
I have replied to your questions below.
Thank you.

The LG SmartThinQ app for the Android platform will not recognize my LG account credentials (email/password) that I use to sign into the LG.com website. I read through the posts and comments regarding the SmartThinQ app and noted I am not the only customer experiencing this issue. Any suggestions or further insight into this issue would be appreciated! Thank you!

I got a reply from some guy on the LG website telling me the problem is with my network. Since I never got that far, and never made the attempt to connect to the network, it's apparent that LG employees don't read what is sent to them. In his reply to gave me an this email address smart.thinq@lge.com. I sent a follow up email to this address and further explained that the problem is with the connection of the iPhone to the refrigerators internal WiFi connection not accepting the password that is listed in the app. I also had the same problem trying to connect my brand new LG dishwasher. I NEVER GOT A REPLY. Since the email address that I received the initial reply id a "DoNotReply" email address, I wonder why he sent me the reply in the first place. I'm beginning to think buying LG appliances was a mistake.
