# Dacor the app will not connect to the appliance

### What to do in the next ten minutes

Check the appliance is one of the connected generation at all — nothing made before 2016 has this feature. Confirm the phone is on the same network as the appliance and that the network offers a 2.4 GHz band, which most of these appliances require. Restart the router before restarting anything else. Note whether the appliance itself is working perfectly, which it usually is.

### Why we treat this separately

Connectivity is not a repair, and pricing it like one would be dishonest. It is a small service, it is often resolved in a few minutes, and where the answer turns out to be the router or the account we say so and charge accordingly. An oven that cooks perfectly and does not appear in an app is an oven, working.

### What the link is actually worth

Some of what the app reports is useful for a future diagnosis — a temperature alarm on a column, a cycle that failed on a dishwasher. Some of it is decoration. Owners deserve to know which is which rather than being sold a feature and left to work it out.

The network band or the router

Many appliances will not join a 5 GHz-only network, and a combined band that hides the slower one will fail silently. Restarting the router resolves a good share of the rest.

The account or the pairing

An appliance registered to a previous owner's account, or a pairing that was never completed, presents identically to a hardware problem and is neither.

The appliance's own network module

The genuine version and the least common. It is concluded once the network and the account have been cleared, not before.

Confirm the appliance is a connected model

Pre-2016 machines have no network hardware at all, and no amount of pairing will change it.

Check for a 2.4 GHz band

The commonest single cause, and invisible unless somebody looks at the router.

Ask whether the appliance itself is misbehaving

If it is not, this is a network job and should be priced like one.

It shows offline, or never finishes pairing

What it usually means

An appliance off the network is not a broken appliance

Most of these are the 2.4 GHz band, the router or the account — not the machine

Only the 2016-and-later machines connect at all

### Does losing the app affect the appliance?

Not at all. Every one of these machines runs its full range of functions from its own controls, and the network adds monitoring rather than capability.

### The app worked and then stopped after I changed router.

That is the commonest history there is. The appliance holds credentials for the old network and needs pairing again — a few minutes, and not a problem.
