Clear Roku App Cache

If the app cache on your Roku device is corrupted, it might be triggering a restart due to improper loading instructions. Therefore, we suggest that you try to clear out the Roku App cache. To do so:

1. Navigate to the Roku homepage and press the home button 5 times.

Ensure Storage is Available

One common thing that happens with some users is that they fill up their storage with different apps and devices which prevents the device from creating and running system functions and the restarting issue is triggered.

Check Wi-Fi and Connected Cables

Your Wi-Fi connection might also be the reason why Roku keeps restarting. We suggest that you disconnect other connected devices and check if that helps. Roku getting enough bandwidth is very important as it is required for streaming. At least 8Mbps of bandwidth should be available for HD streaming. Also, the frequency at which your Router transmits can cause this issue, ensure that your Wi-Fi is transmitting at 2.4Ghz if Roku is farther away and at 5Ghz if it is closer.

The HDMI cables also shouldn’t be loose, and if they are, make sure to plug them in properly. After doing that, try to check for loose connections on both sides and ensure everything is plugged in properly.

Let Roku and TCL TV Cool Down

Electronics tend to get hot when they run over longer periods of time and might shut down if they cannot cool down. Therefore, we suggest that you turn off your TV and Roku for a while until they cool down and check to see if that fixes the rebooting issue.

Uninstall the App or Channel that causes the Issue:

It is possible that your TCL Roku TV keeps restarting when you are using a specific application or on a specific channel. For this, we can suggest that you try to reinstall such an app/channel. To do this:

1. From the home screen, highlight the channel that you would like to remove and press the “*” button from the remote.
2. Select “Remove Channel” and then select “Remove” to delete this channel.

5. Similarly, remove any apps that cause the TCL Roku TV to restart and check if it fixes the issue.

Disable Nintendo Switch’s Wifi Temporarily

According to some users, the Nintendo Switch’s Wifi was causing issues with their Roku TVs and was interrupting the firmware update. Therefore, we suggest that you temporarily disable the Nintendo switch Wi-Fi and check if that fixes the reboot issue.
