You may feel worried when you see your Samsung display a red triangle with a thermometer and won't charge. This issue may have multiple causes, each requiring a different solution. Here are some possible causes and solutions:
• Overheating: Your Samsung watch may enter protection mode to protect its battery and internal components if it overheats. The watch won't charge then. Cool the watch before charging it again to fix this.
• Dust, dirt, or debris in the watch's charging port can block the charger's connection. Charging issues may result. Check and clean the charging port with a soft, dry brush or compressed air. Check for residue that could impede charging.
• A faulty charger may not deliver enough power to charge your watch. To eliminate this possibility, use a compatible charger that works properly. If the watch charges with the new charger, the old one may be broken.
• Faulty Battery: Your Samsung watch may display the thermometer icon and refuse to charge if its battery is dead. You may need to replace the battery. For professional battery diagnosis and replacement, contact Samsung customer support or an authorized service center.
