HBO Max is a popular streaming service that offers a wide variety of movies and TV shows. However, sometimes the HBO Max app can stop working on Samsung TVs. There are a few things you can do to try to fix this issue.

1. Check your internet connection

The first thing you should do is check your internet connection. Make sure that your TV is connected to the internet and that you have a strong signal. You can test your internet connection by opening a web browser and trying to load a website. If you can't load the website, then your internet connection is not strong enough to stream HBO Max.

2. Restart your TV

If your internet connection is strong enough, then you can try restarting your TV. This can sometimes fix minor software issues that are causing the HBO Max app to not work. To restart your TV, unplug it from the power outlet for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.

3. Update the HBO Max app

There may be a new version of the HBO Max app available that can fix the issue you are experiencing. To update the app, go to the Apps section of your TV's menu and select HBO Max. If there is an update available, it will be listed under Available Updates. Select the update and follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

4. Clear the app's cache

If updating the app doesn't work, you can try clearing the app's cache. This will remove any temporary files that may be causing the app to malfunction. To clear the app's cache, go to the Apps section of your TV's menu and select HBO Max. Select Storage & cache and then select Clear cache.

5. Uninstall and reinstall the app

If clearing the app's cache doesn't work, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. This will remove the app completely from your TV and then reinstall it from scratch. To uninstall the app, go to the Apps section of your TV's menu and select HBO Max. Select Uninstall and then follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall the app. Once the app is uninstalled, you can reinstall it from the Samsung Apps store.

6. Contact HBO Max support

If you have tried all of the above steps and the HBO Max app is still not working, you can contact HBO Max support for help. You can contact them by phone, chat, or email.
