A few things to try and fix Alexa

We all understand how difficult it can be when Alexa stops responding. According to Makeuseof.com, there are some things users can try to get Alexa to try to work again.

1. Check your Wi-Fi connection: Sometimes Alexa is unable to respond properly due to poor WiFi connection. Make sure your internet connection is working properly when Alexa is unresponsive.
2. Check the microphone button: Alexa has a physical microphone button on it. If the button is pressed, it means Alexa can’t hear what you’re saying. Make sure the button is off.
3. Restart Alexa: Sometimes the mere thought of rebooting the device is just enough to get your Alexa working.
