Connecting a Candy Smart washing machine to a phone

Modern Candy Smart automatic washing machines can be controlled via smartphone. This allows users to start a wash cycle while away from home. The system can also run diagnostics on the washing machine and display any detected faults in the app, which is very convenient in the event of a breakdown of the "home assistant."

So, many users are wondering: how to connect a Candy Smart washing machine to a phone? There's nothing complicated about this process; pairing the device and the washing machine is within anyone's capabilities. Let's explore the nuances.

Linking a smartphone and a car

Connecting a machine to a phone is done in different ways, depending on the model of the machine and the software of the gadget itself. A detailed algorithm for pairing the washing machine and smartphone is provided in the equipment instructions. We'll tell you how you can connect devices together.

Be sure to connect the washing machine to a Wi-Fi network, preferably the same one that your smartphone uses.

The steps to follow when connecting a Candy Smart washing machine to your phone are as follows:

• Download the Candy Simply-Fi app to your phone;
• Go to the official Kandy website and create an account;
• Connect the washing machine to Wi-Fi. To do this, select “Settings” in the menu, and then the corresponding network name;
• Run the downloaded program on your phone and log in to the application;
• Select your washing machine model from the list provided;
• Enter the serial number of the washing machine (you can find it on the nameplate or in the instructions for the washing machine).

Next, the phone should find the washing machine. Once the connection check is complete, the washing machine will connect to the smartphone; a corresponding notification will appear on the mobile device's screen. After this, you can control the machine remotely.

Some Candy Smart series washing machines are equipped with a dedicated NFC sensor. Pairing these devices is even easier—just create a personal account on the Candy website using the Simply-Fi service and tap your smartphone on the control panel.

Why introduce a car to a telephone?

Many users don't understand the purpose of connecting a washing machine to a mobile device. In fact, it's a very convenient option. Connecting a washing machine to a smartphone has several obvious advantages:

• the machine can be controlled remotely;
• interacting with the washing machine becomes more comfortable;
• You can get all the information about the machine’s operation at any time, even when you’re away from home;
• Some problems that arise during washing can be resolved remotely;
• In the event of a breakdown, the self-diagnostic system will check the machine's components and transmit information about all detected faults to the application.

Regarding the disadvantages of this feature, the main one is the inability to control the washing machine if there are network issues. If there is no internet access, the connection will fail. A couple of other downsides:

• Data may be displayed on your smartphone with a delay due to network problems or other technical issues;
• Only certain operational issues can be resolved remotely; the majority of errors can only be resolved in person.

An app for connecting a mobile device to a washing machine is available for free download. Therefore, we recommend installing the app on your phone and trying connecting to the machine. Most users find it truly easier to control the machine using a smartphone.

Candy Smart Machine Reviews

Candy washing machines are quite popular among customers. There is a high demand for the models of the line Candy Smart is due, first of all, to their low price. Despite the "budget" nature of the equipment, these machines are distinguished by their luxurious software and good washing quality.

Before purchasing a particular washing machine, it's worth reading user reviews of the model. This will help you understand its advantages over others. We'll tell you which Candy Smart washing machines are worth considering.

Anastasia, Moscow

I've been using the Candy Smart CSS34 1062D1-07 for six months now. I bought it for $150. The first thing I want to note is the huge variety of washing modes. In six months, I haven't even had time to try all the programs. The machine has programs for outerwear, children's clothing, curtains, towels, jeans, bedding, and shirts. It also has many additional features:

• stain removal;
• soak;
• steam treatment;
• whitening.

In addition to the basic 16 washing modes, you can add additional programs to the washing machine via the Simply-Fi app.

I downloaded a mobile app to connect the machine to my smartphone, and it's been a real lifesaver! Now I load the drum in the morning and run the cycle at work in the late afternoon. When I get home, the laundry is clean and ready to hang to dry.

I now recommend this washing machine to everyone I know. I couldn't even imagine that for such a price you could actually buy a modern, multifunctional machine that could wash absolutely everything! I was also delighted by the ability to control the device via smartphone.

Andrey, Moscow

I bought a Candy CS4 1061D1/2 Smart Touch washing machine just three months ago. So far, I haven't found any major issues. It washes clothes very gently, although the drum doesn't hold much water, but according to the instructions, that's the intended effect.

My wife and I chose this model because of its reasonable price. It cost around $150. While it's Russian-made, it washes very well. It has a wide range of programs for different types of fabrics. One drawback I'd highlight is the noise level—it's a bit louder during the spin cycle than our previous washing machine.

The store assistant told me the machine is equipped with an NFC sensor and can be controlled via smartphone. I have an older phone now, but when I upgrade, I'll definitely try this feature. In my opinion, the Candy CS4 1061D1/2 Smart Touch is an excellent value for money.

Dinara Rumyantseva

I bought a Candy CS4 1062D1/2 Smart Touch washing machine a month ago. In my opinion, it's a 100% value for money machine. Its undeniable advantages include its compact size and large drum capacity (6 kg), its intuitive interface, its affordable price, and its excellent wash results.

The washing machine has more than enough washing programs. The Smart Touch feature makes them even more versatile. It's best to take the time to connect the machine to your smartphone by downloading the dedicated Simply-Fi app. I paired it with my phone, and now using the washing machine is even more convenient.

Among the downsides is the noise during water intake and spin cycles. But these are probably just minor nitpicks. If you don't wash at night, you won't even notice. Overall, it's a great machine for the money.

   I connected the first time and found Wi-Fi. But then it wouldn't connect anymore. What should I do? I'm tired of re-registering every time. What's the problem? The router is through the wall.
