How to Connect Samsung Fridge to Wi-Fi

Elijah Lucas May 30, 2025

Connecting your Samsung fridge to Wi-Fi enables remote management, firmware updates, and control via the SmartThings app. Follow this guide to set up your fridge’s Wi-Fi correctly.

Step 1: Check Wi-Fi Compatibility

Ensure your Samsung refrigerator model supports Wi-Fi. Most Family Hub models and some Bespoke and smart refrigerators include Wi-Fi connectivity. Look for a Wi-Fi icon on the control panel or refer to the user manual.

Step 2: Download the SmartThings App

  1. Open the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS).
  2. Search for SmartThings.
  3. Download and install the app.
  4. Sign in or create a Samsung account.

Step 3: Prepare Your Fridge for Connection

  1. Power on the fridge.
  2. On the fridge’s display panel, tap Settings.
  3. Navigate to Wi-Fi or Network Settings.
  4. Tap Wi-Fi to start searching for available networks.

Step 4: Connect to Wi-Fi

  1. Select your home Wi-Fi network from the list.
  2. Enter your Wi-Fi password.
  3. Tap Connect.
  4. Wait until you see a “Connected” or similar confirmation message.

If your fridge does not show Wi-Fi options, proceed to Step 5 to connect via SmartThings.

Step 5: Add Fridge to SmartThings (Alternative or Required for Some Models)

  1. Open the SmartThings app.
  2. Tap the “+” (Add device) button.
  3. Select Device > By brand > Samsung > Refrigerator.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions. This typically includes:
    • Granting Bluetooth and location permissions.
    • Selecting your fridge model type.
    • Pressing Connect on the fridge display (or holding Fridge + Freezer buttons for 5 seconds if prompted).
    • Scanning the QR code (on the inside of the door or the manual).
  5. Complete the pairing process.

Step 6: Confirm Connection

Once setup is successful:

  • The fridge will show Wi-Fi connected on the panel.
  • You can see and control the fridge in the SmartThings app.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Restart your Wi-Fi router before retrying.
  • Ensure your fridge is within range of your router.
  • Use a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network if your fridge does not support 5GHz.
  • Reset network settings from the fridge if connection fails.

Final Notes

  • Some firmware updates might be required before Wi-Fi setup is possible.
  • SmartThings app will automatically update the fridge once connected.
  • For advanced issues, refer to the fridge’s user manual or contact Samsung support.
