How to Turn Off the Light on an Echo Dot

The lights are there to display the status of your Dot, so turning them off completely isn't possible. Since Amazon knows you'll be using their devices at night, the lights are designed to be less intrusive and not as harsh as other lights (like the power lights on older TVS!) While you can't turn the lights completely off, there are stickers or covers that you can add to your Echo to make the lights dimmer or cover them completely. Or, for a free trick, move the Echo Dot somewhere else where the lights won't bother you, like behind a propped mirror or behind a tissue box.

If your Echo Dot has a continuous white light, try unplugging it and plugging it back in. If that doesn't work, reset the device by holding the Action button for 25 seconds. If the issue persists, contact Amazon support for further assistance.

If the white light on your Echo Dot won't turn off despite following troubleshooting steps and the device functions normally, it might be a minor glitch. In such cases, you can try leaving the Echo Dot as is for a while, as it might resolve itself. If the issue persists, it's usually not a cause for concern as long as the device continues to work properly.
