Check your internet connection
First, make sure you have a strong and working internet connection because more often Sonos encounters error 1002 due to limited internet connection or no internet connectivity. Working on the internet connectivity may help us solve the Sonos error 1002.

By checking the internet and making sure it’s full functionality, we may fix this error 1002.
Make sure all devices are on and connected
Make sure all the devices including Sonos, Wi-Fi router, computer (having music playlist) are powered on and are in strong connection with each other. Sometimes low internet signals are the reason, and also sometimes we don’t even know if all the connected devices are power on. When one device malfunctions, it results in a system failure that gives us the error 1002. So, if we make sure that all devices are powered on, we may fix this error, and we may avoid it in the future.
Check your firewall configuration
If you still have any luck fixing the error, we can try working on the firewall as well. We have to allow access for Sonos to fix this error. For doing first, make sure that your computer is connected to a private network. I don’t here’s how you can do that, go to settings > Network and internet > Status and select Change connection properties and set your network as Private.
After that, Go to Windows security > Firewall and network protection, now click on allow an app through the firewall. Make sure that the Sonos controller and Sonos library service are both checked in the private column. And now we have fixed the error 1002.
I hope this guide will help you in fixing the Sonos 1002 error.
