Samsung Smart Home

Problem

Action

I could not find 
“Samsung Smart 
Home” in the app 
market.

•  The Samsung Smart Home app is available for smartphones 

that run Android 4.0 (ICS) or higher, or iOS 7.0 or higher. 

The Samsung Smart 
Home app fails to 
operate.

•  The Samsung Smart Home app for available in applicable 

models only.

•  The old Samsung Smart Washing machine app cannot connect 

with Samsung Smart Home models.

The Samsung Smart 
Home app is installed 
but is not connected 
to my washing 
machine.

•  You must log into your Samsung account to use the app.
•  Make sure that your router is operating normally.
•  Make sure that the SmartHome Adapter is inserted properly.
•  If the Wi-Fi Indicator( ) on the washing machine’s display 

is off, this indicates that no network connection has been 
established. Use the Samsung Smart Home app to connect and 
register the washing machine with your home network access 
point (AP). 

Could not log into the 
app.

•  You must log into your Samsung account to use the app.
•  If you don’t have a Samsung account, follow the app’s 

onscreen instructions to create one.

An error message 
appears when I try to 
register my washing 
machine.

•  The connection may fail due to the distance from your access 

point (AP) or electrical interference from the surrounding 
environment. Wait a moment and try again.

The Samsung 
Smart Home app 
is successfully 
connected to my 
washing machine but 
does not run.

•  Exit and restart the Samsung Smart Home app or unplug your 

router and then reconnect it.

•  Remove the SmartHome Adapter, and reconnect it properly. 

Then, try again.
