Causes of Netflix Error UI-800-3:
- Corrupt Netflix app data and cached data
- Network connectivity issues
- Device issues, such as software glitches or misconfigurations
How to Fix Netflix Error UI-800-3:
1. Power Cycle Your Device
Power cycling your device can help clear cached data and refresh the system. Here’s how:
- Turn off the device (TV, console, or streaming box).
- Unplug the device from the power source and disconnect any connected cables.
- Wait for 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
- Plug it back in and turn it on.

2. Try a Different Network
Network issues can trigger the UI-800-3 error. If you’re on a home WiFi network:
- Try switching to a mobile hotspot or a different WiFi network.
- You can also change your router’s DNS server (e.g., from Google DNS to Cloudflare DNS: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1).
- If changing the network doesn’t work, try resetting your network settings.
3. Sign Out and Sign In
Sometimes, signing out and signing back in can resolve the error:
- Go to the Manage Access and Devices page on your browser and log into your Netflix account.
- Select the device you want to sign out from and click Sign Out.
- Wait for the sign-out to take effect, then log in again on your device.
4. Clear the Netflix App Cache
Some devices allow you to clear the app cache without uninstalling the app:
- Check if your streaming device allows clearing app cache (specific steps vary by device).
- If supported, this can help eliminate corrupt or outdated data.
5. Reinstall Netflix
Uninstalling and reinstalling the app can help clear any corrupt data:
- Follow your device’s guide for uninstalling and reinstalling Netflix (this may not work for built-in apps on Smart TVs).
- After reinstalling, open Netflix to check if the error is resolved.
6. Reset Your Streaming Device
If nothing else works, try resetting your device to its factory settings:
- This will delete all data and apps, returning your device to its original state.
- This is a more extreme step but can fix deep software issues causing the error.
