• Software bugs

In this piece, we will explore a few quick and simple hacks that you can apply to resolve the issues from the comfort of your home if you intend to resume streaming Hulu content quickly. Read on to find out more.

Why Won’t The Hulu App Load On My Fire Stick?

There are many possible reasons why your Hulu app is malfunctioning on your Amazon Fire Stick. 

Some include:

• Software issues
• Poor network
• A faulty Fire Stick
• Outdated Hulu app
• System errors

Whether you can pinpoint the source of the malfunction or not, you can give some of these quick troubleshooting fixes below a try before calling for professional support. 

How to Fix Hulu On Amazon Fire Stick

Try these easy fixes whenever your Hulu won’t open on your Fire Stick.

Check for Hulu Servers Downtime

While very rare for Hulu to experience this issue, there is a chance that the Hulu app may be experiencing downtime, hence why it’s becoming a challenge to open the app on your Amazon Fire Stick.

There’s no harm in checking. You can visit the Hulu website’s social media pages or try checking the app on your phone for information about a possible server downtime when you experience this issue.

If the server is down for some reason, there’s nothing that you can do but wait for Hulu to resolve the issue. Hulu may just be doing a minor upgrade or having some technical issues, but it shouldn’t take long before your app starts working properly again. 

Check Your Fire Stick’s Internet Connection

One of the most ignored causes why your Hulu app may be malfunctioning is the state of the internet connection. Like all other streaming services, Hulu can only work on your Fire Stick when there is fast and steady internet. 

So if you find it difficult to open the app, try these fixes:

• Ensure your router has a strong connection
• Check that you’re not behind on internet payment subscriptions
• Check if your Fire Stick is connecting to the correct network
• Disconnect and reconnect the Fire Stick from the internet
• Ensure you used the right password

When this is done, your Hulu app should be working. If not, see the next solution.

Restart Your Router

Another quick remedy for your Hulu not starting on your Fire Stick is performing a complete restart of your router. For example, data overload or software issues may be the causes of a router malfunction. A quick reboot in many cases clears these errors and refreshes the router for better performance.

Follow these steps to restart it:

1. Unplug the router from power.
2. Wait for 60 seconds.
3. Plug the router again and re-establish the connection.

 This simple fix should do the job, and you can enjoy all your Hulu content again.

Uninstall the Hulu App

One of the last tricks in the box, but a fix with a high success rate you can try, is removing the app from your Fire Stick and reinstalling it. However, this procedure means that you’ll lose the settings and configurations already loaded on the app.

Here’s how:

1. Go to Settings on your Fire Stick.
2. Click on the Applications option
3. Select Manage Installed Applications.
4. Click on the Hulu app and Uninstall.
5. Restart your Fire Stick.
6.  Reinstall the Hulu app again and try connecting.

Before doing this, confirm that the login credentials of your Hulu app are still intact because the app may require it when you try logging in after installation.

Reset Your Fire Stick

If you still have issues loading the Hulu app, your Fire Stick may be the cause. Fire Stick malfunctions can range from hardware to software issues, and most times, you may be unaware of the exact issue. In this case, resetting the Fire Stick as a first step to ascertaining the problem would be your primary option.

Depending on the model, resetting the Fire Stick will involve long-pressing both the Select button and the Play/Pause buttons together for about 5 seconds. That will automatically reset your device. 

Conclusion

There’s no doubt that these simple fixes will go a long way in rectifying Hulu loading issues. In addition, if you correctly apply these procedures, you may not need to visit a repair person.

However, if you encounter any trouble trying these DIY fixes or perhaps the app still fails to work, don’t try to pry open your Fire Stick in a frantic effort to fix it. Instead, you should reach out to the Amazon Customer Care team for further assistance and possible resolution.
