Echo Dot Not Responding-How To Fix It Easily-Full Tutorial

In this video, I tell you what to do if you have an Echo Dot that is not responding. I go over a few easy fixes that will hopefully get your Echo Dot to work once again. As is with all technology products, sometimes they stop working, and when this happens, you should try to take the right steps in order to get them to work again. This prevents any problems from compounding, and ensures that the problem will be easy enough to solve by itself.

Question anybody? What's a speed test?

[@richardcarter7618]

You're a Genius.
I was really po'd because I have 3 of them & of course the one that I rely on the most stopped working.
Unplugged, waited 1 minute, plugged back in & wammo, it's fixed!!!
Thanks very much.

Thank goodness! Your video goes straight into the subject at hand. I absolutely love your energy!! Your advice worked perfectly with my Echo Dot 4th Generation, that had stopped responding to voice commands. Thank you from a new owner, and for keeping me from having a “Come Apart”!! I’m a subscriber for life!

I've come here after amazon support had already told me to factory reset the echo dot, and even that didn't make a difference. When I plug it out and back in (first thing I tried), it'll stop listening after a couple of hours. No, actually, the time frame where it works is shrinking, because now it'll freeze after like 10-20 minutes or so.
All my other alexa devices are fine and this echo dot had been working fine at its location, 1 meter away from the router, for a year. It's 6 months past the warranty, so Amazon won't help.
Interestingly, all sensors are still operating, as I can ask other devices for the temperature in the room where the malfunctioning echo dot is. Echo dot also shows a yellow light when I have a notification. However, it won't respond to voice commands if the latest restart was hours ago.
Any tips for what I could do? Since I'm past the warranty, I'm willing to open that shell and fiddle with the hardware if that helps. Because if I can't fix this, that thing is ripe for the trash anyway.

Thank you so much. Worked on the first one x

[@kathypool3990]

Unplugging it worked for me. Thanks!

[@maciuspierwszy7569]

It needs 5 to 10 min to fix what is going on inside? Cool, so this can't be used for morning alarm. Try to explain to your boss; " My Alexa echo dot needed 10 min to fix things in side...."

[@theasiantv5387]

Any issues in alexa??? BETTER CALL SAUL!!!

[@demorunnertimmedrt4432]

I hope this fixes my 1st gen tower echo dot which seemingly has very laggy audio control and has a hard time picking up my voice. I want to turn it into a bluetooth speaker for my firestick.

[@rosannekeynan1106]

I just connected my second echo dot. It doesn't respond to my voice commands. I wanted to play Christmas music on both -- in the kitchen and den. Only the original -- about 6 mos old -- in the kitchen played.

[@debratackett5120]

None of that worked

Looking for help with Alexa tv

[@scotth6814]

Of course unplugging it for 30 seconds is the first thing I tried. I used to be a computer tech, it's the first thing you learn. Solves 90% of problems.
But in my case my Echo Dot then worked for 12-24 hours before freezing up again. I never thought of the wifi connection being a problem. I will try rebooting the router. Thanks.
It seems to me Echo Dots should have a built in wifi test. You should be able to just say "Alexa, test your wifi connection". Not having a connection should NOT make them freeze up. That's a design flaw. It should just make eg. up-to-date weather reports impossible. But if it's no longer usable as an alarm clock, that's BAD design.

[@Ben-pp7bo]

Mine doing this same thing was it the Wi-Fi , I unplug it and maybe later that day It freezes up

[@timurzalialiutdinov7413]

The same thing. Problems with Amazon server?

[@scotth6814]

@@timurzalialiutdinov7413 rebooted my internet switch and it's been working fine for the last week
