Afternoon all

I noticed that my Hub 3 is showing a constant red light (indicating overheating), have tried powering off for 20 mins but the problem returns. I am in router mode and remember the light being purple before so defiantely a fault. Can a forum administrator book me a new hub please?

Thanks

I have been expereincing this red light issue with my superhub 3 for some time , every indication across the forums is that this is due to either overheating or a faulty sensor , I would appreciate if someone could contact me regards replacing the hub as phoning you is not great and i wish to retain my will to live.

Hi Enigmacode,

Thank you for your post, I'm sorry to hear you also have a red light showing on your Hub 3.

I can see that a member of the forum team (Hayley) has reached out to you to offer help with this. If you do need anything else please do pop her a message.

Thanks 🙂
