Samsung has not issued an official solution to this error, but there are still some troubleshooting options you can try. 

Logging Out and Signing Back Into Your Samsung Account 

Server connection issues can be resolved by logging out of your Samsung account and signing back in. 

Logging Out Of Samsung Account 

To log out of your Samsung Account

  2. Open “Settings.”
    Select settings then all settings

  3. Select “General and Privacy,” then “System Manager.”
  4. Choose “Samsung Account.”

  2. Then go to System Manager -> Samsung Account 
  3. Press Sign In/Existing Account, enter your information, then press Sign In again to confirm
  4. Press Done to finish sign in

If this does not resolve the issue, try a different option.

Update Your Samsung TV

Sometimes, turning the TV on and off will fix server issues. However, if that is not enough, the next thing you should try to fix Error Code 189 is updating your device. 

There are several ways to do this: setting automatic updates, updating manually through the internet, or via USB.

Updating Automatically

If the Samsung TV still has an internet connection, it can update automatically whenever new updates are available. To turn auto updates on:

  1. Navigate to Menu, then select “Settings” and “Support.”
  2. Select “Software Update,” then “Auto Update” to turn it on.
    Select Settings, Support then software update

Once you complete these steps, your TV will update as you watch it. Any new features or fixes from the update will be applied the next time you turn on the TV.

Update Manually Over the Internet

You can update your Samsung TV manually as well. To do this:

  1. Using the TV remote, go to Menu, then Settings, then Support
  2. Choose Software Update, then Update Now 

When you press Update Now, your TV will search for updates. If there are updates, your Samsung TV will begin updating.

The installation takes several minutes. Remember not to turn off your TV before the update is complete. 

The TV will restart itself once the update finishes. If no updates are available, press OK to exit the Update menu.

Update Over USB Drive 

Inserting a USB drive containing updated files into the USB port allows updates without an internet connection.

Download updates using a USB connection in the Samsung Download Center. Once there, search by Product Type or Model Number to locate the support page for your Samsung TV.

Find the firmware file(s) for your TV on the support page under Downloads. Install the newest version if there are multiple. Press Download next to the desired files to start the process.

Then do the following:

  1. Once the file finishes downloading, locate and unzip it.
  2. Copy the files in the ZIP to a USB flash drive.
  3. Connect the flash drive with the updated files to the USB port on the TV.
  4. Using your TV remote, go to Menu -> Settings -> Support -> Software Update -> Update Now -> Yes.

From there, the TV will search the USB drive for the files to perform the update and restart when finished. Do not turn off your TV while it is updating.

Restart the Samsung TV

To restart the Samsung TV:

  1. Unplug the Samsung TV from the wall.
  2. Wait 60 seconds.
  3. Plug the TV back in.
  4. Turn your Samsung TV back on.

Once the TV is back on, the issue should be fixed. If not, you have other options.

Power Cycle the Router

ATT router reset button

Occasionally, power cycling your router can clear Error 189. Generally, power cycling a router follows the below steps;

  1. Unplug the router and modem 
  2. Plug them back in after 3 minutes 
  3. Wait for the router to reboo
  4. Turn the TV back on to see if the error is gone

Improve the Signal and Remove Obstructions 

If the internet signal in your home is weak, it will keep you from accessing the Samsung network. An obstructed signal causes the same result.

WiFi signals can be obstructed by:

  • Metal objects
  • Wood objects
  • Walls

You can reduce interference and improve WiFi signal by moving the router closer to the TV or using an ethernet cable. 

Remove any metal objects or things near your router and see if your TV can connect to the Samsung server.

The strength of the signal is also affected by how far the device that requires the internet is from the router. You can use a signal booster or extender to improve signal quality and widen its reach.

You should also make sure that your Samsung TV is connected to the appropriate WiFi frequency.

Add a New Account

Sometimes, adding another account to use your Samsung TV will eliminate this error. To add a second account on the newest models, follow the steps below:

  1. Press the Home button on your remote control.
  2. Go to Settings then General or General and Privacy depending on your Samsung TV model
  3. Select System Manager
  4. Select Samsung Account
  5. Select Sign In and log in with a different, existing Samsung account

You must create one online if you do not have a Samsung account. To create an account, go to Samsung’s account webpage. Follow the prompts to create an account and log in on your TV.

If the problem is due to something related to your Samsung account, this may clear the error code. 

Change the DNS Settings 

Changing the DNS settings can improve your Samsung TV’s connection to the server. To do this:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. For older TVS: Go to Settings > General > Network > Open Network Settings
  3. For newer TVS: Go to Settings > All Settings > Connection > Network > Open Network Settings
  4. Select Network Status
  5. Choose IP Settings
    Samsung tv - IP settings
  6. Go to DNS Setting and select Enter Manually
    Samsung tv - enter manually
  7. Enter 8.8.8.8 and select OK.
    Samsung tv - enter 8.8.8.8

Once you complete these steps, you will have updated DNS address settings. Check if the error message still occurs after doing this. If it does, there are still other things you can try.

Factory Reset the Samsung TV

Factory resetting a TV returns it to its default settings. You will be signed out of all apps and accounts, and it will reset the smart hub. To do this:

  1. Select Settings -> General or General and Privacy-> Reset
    Reset samsung tv: general then reset
  2. Enter your PIN or 0000
    Enter code to reset Samsung TV
  3. Select Reset
  4. Press OK, and the reset will start

If these options do not come up for you, do the following:

  1. Select Settings -> Support -> Device Care -> Self Diagnosis
    Samsung tv - device care self diagnosis
  2. Run the self diagnosis.

If you forget your PIN, reset it by turning the TV off and pressing Mute -> 8 -> 2 -> 4 -> Power. 

Contact Samsung Support

If none of these options work for you, or you feel frustrated, contact the Samsung support team.

15 Fixes: Unable to Connect to Samsung Server

You may receive the error “Unable to connect to Samsung server”when searching for something to watch on Samsung Smart TV. So, read on as we discuss the best solutions in this regard.

So, are you finally free this weekend and looking for something to unwind after a hard week? You turn on your Samsung Smart TV and choose something interesting to watch.

But it shows the following: Unable to connect to Samsung server.

The error message looks like this: “Unable to connect to the Samsung server. Please check your network settings or try again later.”

It shows the solution along with this error message, but the answer won’t solve the error in most cases.

This may mean that the TV is not properly connected to the Internet, or it may be due to an overload issue. As a result of this error, nothing is broadcast on Smart TV.

Therefore, it becomes necessary to solve the problem. But before we test solutions to this problem, we need to understand why the error occurs most often. So let’s deal with them first.

Causes of “Unable to connect to Samsung server”error

Here they are if you are wondering what is causing this error message when trying to connect a Samsung TV to the server.

  • Poor/no internet connection

As already mentioned, the problem can occur due to incorrect settings on your Wi-Fi. This error can be quickly resolved by resetting your network settings or by checking your internet connection.

If that’s not the problem, read on.

  • Corrupted cache

A corrupted cache can also cause issues with your internet router and/or smart TV.

Thus, it may prevent it from establishing a connection with the Samsung server. Clearing the cache may solve this problem.

  • Outdated system software

Running outdated firmware on your Smart TV can also cause the issue. Outdated software becomes incompatible with Smart TV, preventing it from running smoothly.

To fix this, update the firmware on your Samsung Smart TV and check if that solves the problem.

  • Server issues

Another major problem associated with this error is server issues. In other words, the Samsung server may be down or is currently down.

If the main server is down or under maintenance, it will not allow you to connect to the server.

You can check if the server is online or not by connecting to the Action Center service. Even if the server is not disabled, they will help you fix the error with your Samsung Smart TV.

  • Smart hub is outdated

The Samsung Smart HUB, or TV control panel, includes all the features that can be measured with the push of a button.

However, in some cases it can become outdated and interfere with the server, making it difficult to establish a connection to the server.

  • Due to regional issues

Let’s say you bought a Samsung Smart TV in Country A and use it in Country B. In this case, it can also cause the “Unable to connect to Samsung server” error.

This is because the TV is programmed to comply with the terms and conditions of the place where it was sold.

It is not necessary that the country from which it was brought and the country where it is used have the same conditions.

Hence, this is another common reason why the connection may fail.

  • Smart Hub Password

Do you have a complex HUB password? If yes, then this is for you. Although this rarely happens, some people get rid of this error by changing their password to a password with fewer characters.

Therefore, it would be better if you try something with a length of 8-10 characters so that the password does not cause smart TV connection problems.

  • Damaged device

This error will appear if any part of your Smart TV is damaged. This may be related to software or hardware.

Or it could also be that a particular connection-related part is corrupted, although the chances are less.

In some cases, it may also happen that the Smart TV came with defective software installed or it failed to update.

Now that we know the common causes of errors when starting Smart TV, let’s move on to how to fix them.

How to fix “Unable to connect to Samsung server”issue?

Below are some of the most common ways to fix the “Unable to connect to Samsung server”issue. Try following these solutions to get your Samsung Smart TV up and running immediately.

  1. Check Samsung Server Status
  2. Turn off your TV and router
  3. Change smart hub password

  6. Change Region on Samsung TV
  7. Soft reset your Samsung Smart TV

  9. Update your TV software
  10. Reset smart hub
  11. Perform a network reset
  12. Use a VPN
  13. Change IP Configuration
  14. Hard reset your Samsung TV
  15. Reset router/modem settings

Let’s break down each of these solutions in detail below.

1. Check Samsung server status

You can contact Samsung support to see if the issue is with the server itself or your side.

You can contact Samsung techs for live chat support and ask them if the server is down or under maintenance.

If it’s a server issue, they’ll let you know. Even if it’s not a server problem, but a problem on your end, they will tell you how to fix it.

2. Turn off your TV and router.

Before proceeding with the solutions below, it is recommended that you unplug your TV and router from electrical outlets.

After turning off both, press the power button for 10-12 seconds to discharge the remaining electricity. Wait a few minutes before turning your TV and router back on.

Check if this solves the “Unable to connect to Samsung server”issue. If not, try the next solution.

3. Change your Smart HUB password

This trick has already worked for many users facing a similar issue. Try changing the Smart HUB password to a less complex one, and then try connecting the TV to the server again.

You should not get the “Unable to connect to Samsung server”popup again.

4. Check your network connection

Limited bandwidth or poor internet connection can also cause the problem. If you have connected your computer using Wi-Fi, the Internet may be unstable and cause problems.

To fix this, you need an Ethernet network connection to connect to the Internet, or a wired Internet connection.

5. Connect to another network

If the issue persists, it may be due to IP address overload. This is why connecting to a different network connection can help.

If the TV is connected to Wi-Fi, try connecting it to an access point or cellular network.

6. Change the region on your Samsung TV.

You can use this workaround to connect to a server in a different region.

  • Go to Settings.
  • Find a support option.
  • Select the “Self Diagnosis”option.

  • After selecting another country in the dialog box, please wait 2-3 minutes.
  • Select the skip option in the dialog box.
  • Now you can connect to the Samsung server and even install region-restricted apps on your TV.

Now let’s change the DNS settings.

It should not be available in your region if you get a connection error message when you try to open some websites or content on your Samsung Smart TV.

To unblock these regional apps on your Smart TV, please change your DNS settings to Google.

Change it by doing the following.

  • Go to settings.
  • Go to the general.
  • Click Network.
  • Find the network status.
  • Click IP Settings.
  • Enter the parameter manually.
  • Find the DNS server.
  • Enter 8.8.4.4 or 8.8.8.8.
  • Click OK.

Since Google’s DNS is faster, it will resolve the internet connection issue when trying to connect to regionally blocked content.

7. Soft reset your Samsung Smart TV

You may want to reset the Samsung Smart TV software as it will close all apps running in the background of your Smart TV with accurate RAM data and restart the TV.

To soft reset your TV, follow these steps:

  • Turn on the TV.
  • Then press the TV’s power button until the TV reboots.
  • After rebooting the TV, check the TV for the problem.

8. Sign out and sign in to your Samsung account.

Signing out and then signing back in can also work as sometimes internal glitches will cause sync to get disconnected and signing back in fixes the issue including Unable to connect to Samsung server.

This trick will help your Smart TV to sync with Smart HUB and your account.

This error most often occurs when a Samsung TV stops syncing with a Samsung account.

Thus, regular synchronization of the TV with history and Smart HUB should solve the problem.

Follow the instructions below to do so.

  • Find “Settings”and click “General”. Then click “System Manager”and then go to Samsung account.
  • Select “My Account”and hover over the “Account”icon.
  • Press “Select”on the remote control and click on the “Exit”option that appears on the screen.
  • If you want to use the second method, please click “Reset Smart HUB”after logging out of your Samsung account.
  • On the computer, enter your Samsung account credentials and accept the terms that appear next.

After resetting Smart HUB, check if the “Unable to connect to Samsung server”issue is still there by logging in to your account again.

9. Update TV software

Outdated firmware software can also be the cause of the problem. Outdated software installed on your Samsung Smart TV may not be compatible with the latest features and cause problems.

So, follow the steps below to update the firmware software of your Samsung Smart TV.

  • Launch Samsung Smart TV and click “Settings”.
  • Move the pointer to the Support option using the left button and the OK button.

Cases like this are rarer, but solutions for all of the possible issues I’ve talked about are straightforward, and you can get your TV connected to Samsung’s servers in no time.

Go through the sections below in a sequence and try them to see what works for your TV and your internet connection.

Check for a Software Update on your Samsung TV

You should always keep your Samsung TV updated and on the latest software versions so that you won’t run into issues when trying to watch something on the TV.

Bugs and other issues constantly get fixed with software patches and updates, so try checking for updates at least once a month.

To check for software updates on your Samsung TV:

  1. Press the Home button on the remote.
  2. Go to Settings > Support.
  3. Select Software Update.
  4. Choose Update Now for the TV to start checking online for any updates to be installed.

If the TV finds and installs an update, restart your Samsung TV after the installation completes and check if the error code comes back.

Check your Internet Connection

Connecting to Samsung servers requires an internet connection, and if this connection isn’t consistent and dropping randomly, you can run into this error.

When you get this error on your Samsung smart TV, check all the lights on your modem and see if they are all on.

Ensure none of them are in any warning color, like amber or red.

You can also check if you can access the internet on other devices that you own to make sure it isn’t an issue with your internet.

Power Cycle your Router

If everything looks okay on the router, try restarting it to see if the error goes away.

Restarting is also a viable option if you see that some of the lights on the router are off or are colored red or amber.

The best way to restart your router is to power cycle it, which soft resets the hardware and software of the device, and you won’t lose any data.

To power cycle your router:

  1. Turn the router off.
  2. Unplug the router from the wall socket.
  3. You’ll need to wait at least 60 seconds before you plug the router back in.
  4. Turn the router on.

Go to your TV and restart it to check if the error message with error code 189 comes back.

Perform Network Reset on your Samsung TV via the Menu

Samsung smart TVs allow you to reset the network configuration of the TV so that you can fix any issue that misconfigured network settings might have caused.

To reset your network settings:

  1. Press the Home button on the remote.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Go to General > Network.
  4. Select Reset Network.
  5. Wait for the TV to disconnect and then reconnect to your Wi-Fi.

Launch any service that requires Samsung servers, like the voice assistant or Tizen OS store, and see if the error comes back.

Check if Samsung Server is Down

If the Samsung servers are down or under maintenance, your TV will not be able to connect to them for any reason.

The easiest way to find out if their servers are down is to contact customer support and ask if their servers are down or unavailable.

Alternatively, you can check Samsung’s official social media handles and their smart TV division to know if there is any planned downtime.

They’ll also tell you how long the servers would be down if the downtime were planned.

Use Google DNS

A DNS is an address book for the internet, where the names are the URLs that you enter, and the locations are the IP addresses associated with that URL.

All devices that access the internet have a DNS it connects to retrieve this information.

Sometimes, the default DNS configured for the TV might go down because of planned maintenance or an unexpected outage, which can mean the TV loses its ability to connect to the internet.

In cases like this, you can set another DNS for your TV to connect to and get it back on the internet in seconds.

Here, we will be using Google’s DNS and to configure your Samsung smart TV for Google’s DNS:

  1. Press the Home button on the remote.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Go to General > Network.
  4. Choose Network status.
  5. When the diagnosis completes, select IP Settings.
  6. Highlight the DNS setting and select it to enter a DNS address manually.
  7. In the text field, type 8.8.8.8.
  8. Confirm and save the new DNS.

Check to see if the error comes back again after changing the DNS.

You can also try Cloudfare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS if Google’s doesn’t work for you.

Sign Out and Sign Back Into your Samsung TV

You can also try fixing error code 189 by signing out of your Samsung account and signing back in.

This resets the authentication systems, which might have blocked the TV from connecting to Samsung’s servers.

To do this:

  1. Press the Home button on the remote.
  2. Go to Settings > General.
  3. Then navigate to System Manager > Samsung Account.
  4. Select My Account, then Sign Out.
  5. Go to Samsung Account again under System Manager.
  6. Select Sign In.
  7. Enter your Samsung account information and complete the rest of the sign-in steps.

If you resolved the error, you’d be able to go through this process without issues, but also double-check by running any service on the TV that requires a Samsung account.

Add a New Account on your Samsung TV

Whatever is causing the error code can also be fixed by using another Samsung account.

To add a new account to your Samsung smart TV:

  1. Press the Home button on the remote.
  2. Go to Settings > General.
  3. Then navigate to System Manager > Samsung Account
  4. Select Add account.
  5. Use the credentials of the other account and sign in to it.

You might need to create a new Samsung account if you don’t already have one.

Fortunately, the TV will offer your the choice to create a new account when you try to add a new account.

Reset your Samsung TV

If nothing sticks, you might need to factory reset the Samsung TV and wipe everything on it.

Remember that a factory reset will sign you out of all accounts and remove all your apps.

To reset your Samsung TV:

  1. Press the Home button on the remote.
  2. Go to Settings > Support.
  3. Select Self-diagnosis > Reset.
  4. Enter the PIN if you’ve set one. The default PIN is 0000.
  5. Confirm the prompt to begin resetting the TV.

After resetting the TV, you’ll need to log in to your Samsung account and install all the apps that you had before.

Check if the error message with the 189 code appears again.

They’ll instruct you on how to fix your TV once they know what the model of your TV is and what the issue with your TV is.
