Firestick is great because it allows you to download many popular streaming apps, like Disney Plus. But, what happens if the Disney Plus app stops working on your Firestick?
When Disney Plus was released, everyone was excited to add the new streaming service to their devices. The new platform features popular titles from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and some National Geographic Channel originals.
The most common reasons for the Disney Plus app not working on your Fire Stick involve issues with the internet connection problems, the streaming service itself, or the Fire Stick needing a restart. However, the Disney Plus app may be the cause of the problem. The app itself may be stopping the service from working as it should.
The following are some effective ways to fix Disney Plus not working on Firestick Issue:
The first thing you should try is a quick check to make sure the Disney Plus streaming service isn’t experiencing any issues. If it is, the best thing to do is to wait for it to come back online. To do this, you can check Disney server status via third-party tools like Downdetector.
Some errors can be easily fixed by logging out and logging back in again. We strongly suggest you go to your Disney account and log out. Then, after a while, re-login and check if the problem is solved.
A bad network connection can also be why the Disney Plus app is not working on your Fire TV. Disney Plus requires a minimum bandwidth of 5 Mbps for you to enjoy its services without issues.
To learn if your network meets the required speed, you can visit fast.com to measure your connection’s upload and download bandwidth. However, if the result shows that your network is the problem, restart your router to re-establish the connection with your ISP.
On your Fire Stick remote, press Select together with Play buttons until your streaming stick turns off and restarts. Once the process completes, try using Disney Plus again.
Disney Plus saves temporary data on your Fire TV called caches and cookies. This data is used to improve users overall performance on the Disney Plus app. However, this temporary data could get corrupted and cause your Disney Plus not to work.
To fix this, follow the steps below to clear Disney Plus’ cache and data:
- First, go to Settings on your Amazon Fire TV/Stick.
- Now, tap Applications and choose Manage Installed Applications.
- Then, click Disney Plus from the list and click on Clear Cache and Clear Data.
An outdated application can suddenly start malfunctioning. We suggest updating your Disney app and other streaming services on your Fire Stick.
You can also try resetting your Fire TV back to factory defaults if you experience issues with Disney Plus and other applications. For example, you may have set the wrong configurations on your device and caused applications to malfunction.
To reset your Amazon Fire TV, follow the guide below:
- First, eject any storage device that is connected to your Fire TV.
- Now, press and hold the Back and Right buttons on your remote.
- Then, select Continue to reset your device.
Once done, reinstall the Disney Plus app to check if the problem is solved.
