In this video we teach you how to reset the Echo Dot 4th Generation, which is the newest Amazon Echo device released in 2020. The 4th generation Echo Dot has a new design and a new spherical shape but maintains the same control interface as previous version echo dot devices.
To Reset The Echo Dot 4th Gen:
1. There are 4 buttons on the top of the Echo Dot. Two volume buttons, a mute button and the action button. The action button is the round button on the top of the Echo Dot.
2. Hold down the action button, for about 20 seconds until the echo device say's it is "resetting device". It will first say it is in setup mode, but you need to keep holding down the action button even after it says it's in setup mode, once the it says "resetting device" you can release the action button.
3. It then takes 1-2 minutes for the device to complete the reset process and once complete you will then hear the echo dot talk to you in several different languages telling you that it's ready to be setup.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and getting straight into the instructions! How refreshing! I was about half a second away from a “Come Apart”!! I’m a subscriber for life!
If you have a persistent orange ring as I did, meaning internet connection issues, a "hard reset" might be necessary. This is the only thing that fixed my issue. Press and hold the [volume down] and [mute microphone] buttons until the dot turns itself off. It will restart, and once it does, it will enter "initial setup mode" as if you've just turned it on of the first time ever. Have your Alexa app ready to set it up, and you should have it back up and running in seconds....You're welcome 😉 lol.
THANK YOU!
I was just about to throw mine away... i viewed soooo many videos I was losing faith.
This should be pinned 💪
I have been holdinh down my volume down and mute microphone button and it has no effect, I have made sure i did it for correct amount of time, I have also held down my action button and there was no effect someone please help, i have also tried unplugging it all i have is a persistent blue ring
Thank goodness for you comment!
thank you it took me forever to figure it out absolute legend
Thanks for watching, glad you were able to get it reset!
thanks, man you'r trick really helped me a lot👍
Thanks I thought my Echo was dead but that did the trick!
thanks, short, to the point
The reason I did not want to attempt this was I was afraid I would lose all of my data: routines, etc. Just a heads-up that you don't. The only thing that I lost was reminders. Everything else will still in my Alexa app. So if you're holding off on doing this, never fear!
Thanks I thought mine was broking but is not but thank you.
What do I do if I try to set it up for the 1st time but the light is just solid green
I manged to find out what to do and to fix it I just waited a few mins and then unplugged the alexa from the back, plugged it back in and it started working
Turn it off and imedutly hilt the button
Thanks much. You are brilliant.
Thanks much you're awesome for the great comment. Have a good weekend.
The ease of integration into other smart home devices.
Thank you it was so help full
Amazing thank you so much

Thank you!

You a real one thanks
This works thank you
Can you tell me when I unplugged my charger port out. The Alexa turns off and doesn't turn on without me plugging it back in?
Thank you.
Did that - just stayed blue solid
Same
This was great
BUT HOW DO YOU SET IT UP??????
I hold the button in and nothing happens it’s plugged up right I got good internet connection what’s the issue?
Thank you so much bro🙏🏽🔥
Has anyone had trouble with Internet connectivity? Mine has been flashing orange, while intermittently telling me it is updating. I'm guessing this is down to it not connecting to my WiFi, but every other device is working fine. I've tried reseting the router but this hasn't worked. Perhaps if I reset like this it may work again.
Same Dont Know How To Fix T
Update: This was described as a 'total software failure' by amazon and replaced under warranty.
Same here mine won't connect too the wifi it keeps saying my password is incorrect which it isn't I dont knw what too do 😭😭
It’s say internet is not reachable
You really should get to the point as to how to reset it we know why we want to reset ours
mine updated on its own but it’s stuck like that and every time i reset it just goes to the update and never goes back so i can’t use it whatsoever
Mine says having trouble try again in a little while
Ty..it helped alot
Mine did this but now has a purple light for the past week now
Well it also reset in the app
Yes, it will. It should be removed if it's currently connected and both devices were connected to the same wifi network at the time you did the reset. If not you can delete the device in the app by selecting it in the app and deleting.
Thank youu!!
Alexa: Reseting your device, This will take about a Minute, I'll let you Know when its Done.
It doesn’t do that for me wheat should I do
My lights turned green! I’m not sure what to do…
Why is my dot and the base red??? It's usually blue
Can u pls tell me why my Alexa still has a blue ring after I unplug it it’s scaring me and I don’t know what to do
The robots are taking over your house
I purchased alexa echo 4th generation today and I haven't even seen any lights not mentioning alexa speaking to me 😪 🤣
FOREVER UPDATING LOOP FIX
If your Echo Dot is stuck in an Updating Loop forever, do this. ON the Roating Red Ring, press and hold MUTE and MINUS buttons down simultaneously for about 30 seconds until it says "Removing your SmartHome Devices" and then release them. Wait a bit and then when you press the Action button and your Echo will say "Now ready for Setup". Or you can unplug and plug it, and it will play the new Welcome Tone and saying your device "Is now ready for setup, go to the Alexa App".
Go to the Alexa App and chose the bottom right icon for Settings and then chose "Add New Device" and chose "Echo Dot". You'll see it listed if detected via Bluetooth... pick it... and then pick your Wifi Hotspot for it to connect to as you've been through before.
Tada... your Echo is back, but the WAKE Word has been reset to "Alexa" so you'll have to change it back to whatever you prefer, i.e. "Alexa, change my Wake Word to Echo/Computer/Amazon/Ziggy/Alexa"...
This will last until the next Power Outage / Power Cycling of your Alexa at which point the dmmnn thing will try to update again and get stuck in the update loop like it did before. Still, you can at least bring it back from the dead until then.

Man, even after this, when I talk to my Echo it gives me a red circle saying internet connection problem even tho everything is fine with my internet
I have been holdinh down my volume down and mute microphone button and it has no effect, I have made sure i did it for correct amount of time, I have also held down my action button and there was no effect someone please help, i have also tried unplugging it all i have is a persistent blue ring
Saaame, did you find a fix?
In my case removing the power cord and plugging it back in before doing these steps helped. Once it powers on and starts showing the blue lights follow the steps in the video. The device was unresponsive to the steps originally and was either showing the blue lights nonstop or no lights and only reacting to the silence button.
Update: I've had to reset one of my Echo Dot (4th gen) countless times now, and it regularly stops listening/responding or stops playing Spotify. Anyone else having these issues as well?
Hi how were you able to fix this issue
@@princeteye1003 Wasn’t able to fix it unfortunately. This particular Echo Dot still regularly has issues and needs to be reset and then just works for another day or two before needing another reset. Amazon Support didn’t want to help out since it’s out of warranty. Very frustrating.
Still constant blue ring.
I have to reset because it wouldn't stop blinking yellow even though i had no notifications or messages
Setup mode
Could anyone tell me when using echo gen 4th and activate the Guard funtion does the led ring lights up while guarding? My doesn't my 3er gen does.
yes , they suppose to so they can record on whats happen in your house .
I have had the same problem. For me when I turned off the microphones it did not turn red
When I go to my app it wants me to buy a subscription again
Light never comes on
My Alexa won’t stop cutting in and out (she talks then it’s cuts off and then she continues talking).
Did not work for me
Mine is not talking at all
Mine is unresponsive. No ring light. Only mute button light up. I press and hold the action button and no Orange ring, nothing. It is completely unresponsive. If anyone knows how to fix this please lmk
I'm having the ame issue. I can't find anything online that helps.
I have the same issue? How did you fix it??
@@shanthijestin didn’t. Ended up in a drawer somewhere.
Alexa echo dot blue light
bro i just did this on accident
My alexa is not switching on
Quick tip start off with just how to reset idk why but when you mentioned the other buttons I was so annoyed

🤵👰♀️❤️💍
