Netflix

Netflix runs on virtually every smart TV platform, and its error codes follow a pattern: NW codes point to network trouble, UI codes usually mean app data on the device needs a refresh, and tvq codes relate to playback. Most problems clear with a restart, a sign-out and sign-in, or a router reboot — no account changes needed.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Netflix NW and UI error codes?+

NW codes (like NW-2-5) mean the device can't reach Netflix over the network — usually a Wi-Fi, DNS, or router problem. UI codes (like UI-800-3) usually mean information stored on the device needs a refresh, which a sign-out and sign-in or a device restart typically fixes.

My Netflix error code has extra numbers in parentheses. Does that matter?+

Yes. Codes like UI-800-3 (100018) and UI-800-3 (307006) have different causes and different fixes. Search the exact code, parentheses included, on help.netflix.com to get the right steps for your device.

How do I refresh the Netflix app data on a TV?+

Sign out of Netflix from the app's menu, restart the TV (unplug it for about 15 seconds), then open Netflix and sign back in. This rewrites the stored account data that UI-series errors complain about.
