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

Saul goodman behind the camera???

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.

Unplugging it worked for me. Thanks!

Thank you so much. Worked on the first one x

You literally sound like Saul Goodman... It's beautiful

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...."

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.

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

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.

Looking for help with Alexa tv

Not responding to boice

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.

None of that worked

Didn't work, but I have an older generation
