An LG WSEP4723 that will not join Wi-Fi, or that drops out of the ThinQ app, has a connection problem with a few well-known causes, and the order in which to check them saves time. This 4.7 cubic foot single wall oven has Fan Convection, AirFry and the ThinQ app with scan-to-cook, which reads a food package code and sets the oven. All of that depends on a steady 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi connection and on the oven being enabled for remote use. Start with the band.
The checks in more detail
LG appliances join the 2.4 gigahertz band only, so if your router merges the 2.4 and 5 gigahertz bands under one name, temporarily separate them or have the phone on the 2.4 gigahertz band during setup. Keep the phone and the oven close to the router. Open the ThinQ app, choose to add a product, select the wall oven and follow the steps; the oven will ask you to hold the Wi-Fi key on the panel until a light flashes or a message appears.
Enter the password carefully, since a typo is a very common reason for failure. Make sure your router does not block new devices through a MAC filter. If pairing worked but the oven cannot be controlled, check the oven for a Remote Start setting or the ThinQ key that must be enabled before the app can start a cycle; an oven for safety will not start from a phone unless the door is closed and the setting is on.
If the oven was connected before and now fails, check that your Wi-Fi name or password has not changed, restart the router and the oven by switching off at the breaker for a minute, and remove and re-add the oven in the app. A weak signal at the wall where the oven sits is another reason, so a mesh node or a repeater near the kitchen helps. Update the app. If nothing works, contact LG with WSEP4723F and the serial number.
