Red light on Hub 3

Hi a little concerned as I have a full red light on my hub 3 - and the hub is warm to touch at the top.

Recently had engineers here and they replaced by TV box which was faulty. So my hub is the only bit of original issue. 

Still got a strong WiFi signal - but advice appears to suggest I need to book an engineer? 

Grateful for any help. Thank you.

    Hi MTS1, 

    Thanks for taking the time to contact us via the Community. It's lovely having you on board with us in the Forums. ⭐

    We're sorry to hear your hub is showing a red light and is warm to touch. To be on the safe side, we would suggest unplugging the hub and leaving off just for safety. 

    We will need to get an engineer booked out to replace the hub but I just need to confirm the address to ensure we are booking the visit on the correct account. I have sent you a direct message to allow us to do this with you in a private space. If you are using a PC/Laptop then you can just click on the little ✉ at the top right-hand side of the page to access your inbox.

    Hi,

    appoint went ahead - replaced the hub and sent in a note to link the new wi fi pod. 
    Very professional engineer.

    only outstanding issue is the wi fi pod has yet to link with the new hub.

    regards

      Hi MTS1 👋🏼.

      Thank you for coming back to us and letting us know 😊.

      Sorry to see your WIFI Pod has not connected ☹.

      What happens when you try to connect the Pod by our connect app?

      Since you have last spoken to us, are you still having issues with your connection?

      If so please let us know and we will further assist.

        So the update - engineer returned and replaced the hub - all working well. 

        Still no progress with the WiFi pod. Not sure I understand how the connect app helps connect a pod?
