Cold Boot or Soft Reset Your Samsung or LG Smart TV
According to Samsung, cold booting your TV helps resolve the error. You can do the process in two ways and this also applies if you are using an LG Smart TV. Cold booting or we call it soft reset for devices other than Samsung, will delete the cache on your Smart TV.
Via Your Remote
If you prefer to cold boot using your remote, hold the power button on your Samsung or LG TV remote until your TV turns off and back on. You can now launch your Disney Plus app.
Via the Plug
This process works if you do not have a TV remote. First, unplug your Samsung or LG Smart TV. Wait for at least 30 seconds. Plug your TV back in and turn it on. Now check if the error is still there.
Power Cycle Your Device
If you are cold booting through your plug, it is ideal if you power cycle your other devices such as your modem and router. It will refresh your Internet connection, which can help in fixing the error. When you power cycle your device, wait for it to fully connect before you try to launch your Disney+ app and check for errors.
