Solution 1: Hard Reset Your TV
The first thing you can do is give a hard reset to your TV which will solve your Netflix keeps Freezing On TV.
- Turn off the TV using the remote control or the power button on the TV itself.
- Disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet or power source. This ensures that the TV is completely disconnected from power.
- Leave the TV unplugged for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute. This allows any residual power in the TV to dissipate.
- While the TV is still unplugged, press and hold the power button on the TV itself (not the remote) for 10 to 30 seconds. This may help discharge any remaining power in the internal components.
- Plug the TV back into the wall outlet or power source.
- Turn the TV on using the remote control or the power button on the TV.
