Why Is My Device Being Disabled?
A disabled device means that the device is prevented from sending data to the server. In the MyFridgeOnline portal, a disabled device is shown on the Devices page on the checkbox in the Enabled column This typically happens when:
- Your account has no active subscription, or
- The account has more devices than the quota allows, for the device type.
Note: A new MyFridgeOnline account remains inactive until a subscription is purchased or redeemed.
