Appliance Pairing General Troubleshooting

Pairing Process:

  1. If the appliance does not appear during the pairing process, verify the appliance is not attempting to pair with Bluetooth Only Mode.

  2. If the pairing PIN does not appear, see Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Connected Appliance Does Not Show PIN.
  3. For assistance locating the PIN, see Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Connected Appliance PIN Location.

Additional Information:

  • If more than one phone is used to connect, the appliance may only be paired to one phone during setup. The second phone can be paired after setup is complete on the first.
  • Products from multiple homes can be connected on the app. However, it is necessary to be within 20 feet of each appliance to do the pairing procedure.
  • Pairing appliances is optional. Appliances do not need to be connected to the internet to be used.
