Why won't Best Buy simply post the directions for shutting off this completely unnecessary (and unprotected) wifi? I have called their customer support, and I have downloaded the app with no luck on either count. POST THE DIRECTIONS BEST BUY. Wifi on a freezer is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. "your privacy is important to us" says Best Buy, except when it comes to secure Wifi.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Disconnect the smallest connector on the back of the fridge. You have to remove the metal panel first. There should be a large white piece on the bottom/top of the clip that you need to pinch to remove the clip.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I tried the 3 sec toggle of the door panel Smart Things / Lock button: status of the wifi signal does not change. Wifi signal does NOT go off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.On my model you can hold down the refridgerator button until ap appears and it turns off wifi. Be sure you unlock the panel first if it is locked by holding down the lock button for 3 sec. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.On my new Samsung refrigerator, model RF30BB6600QL, holding down the "circle" button on the interior control panel for 3 seconds brings up the AP indicator. After repeating this process a couple of times, I closed the door (with "AP" showing) and the WiFi turned off after a while. A Samsung customer service rep told me it was not possible to turn off the WiFi, but the refrigerator signal did indeed disappear from the WiFi scanner app on my phone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is also Bluetooth on the new Samsung remember the harness have 5 wires 12v 5v ground Tx Rx. One on top of circuit board in back of fridge, antenna on top, and the Bluetooth can be disabled under top hinge cover you’ll see the Bluetooth transmitter under there unplug n tuck away.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unplug little white box in the back of freezer next to compressor.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had the same issue with my electric range. I made a tutorial on how to disable it, since there's no way of button pressing which does it. bitchuteDOTcom/video/safuoT8fKrqF/ Good luck
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.On mine, there is a front-door option called “smart grid connect”. Hold that down for 3 seconds and it can toggle the darn unnecessary WiFi off. Use your phone to search for WiFi networks to check that it’s off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For model RF28R7201SR, you cannot turn it off yourself or remove the Wifi componet. You must call 866 813 2404 and arrange for a technician to come out and remove the wifi component. Once done with call you will receive a text to confirm model number and serial number located inside top left door. There is no selection to turn wifi off so you can only choose that it won't SMARTbconnect then explain what you really need. I am at the stage of waiting for Technician to know what he does or or how long. NOTE WIFI and BLUETOOTH can interfere with the proper operation of implanted medical devices as in my case. Items that have SMART features as an option should set them up with on and off switch and not have them automatically set to operate for security & medical reasons.
