Xbox One overheats - so you prevent the problem

The console is equipped with an intelligent ventilation system. However, you should definitely follow these tips:

• Make sure that no fan is blocked. There should also be enough space for the next item.
• The power supply also has an integrated fan. This too must not be covered and must be exposed.
• Make sure there is adequate ventilation in the room where the Xbox is used.
• Avoid placing the console on the sofa or bed. This can block the fans.
• Make sure that the power supply unit is not stored near heat sources such as heaters or amplifiers.
• If you follow these tips, there is adequate ventilation and the console cannot overheat.
• However, if it overheats regularly, even though you have followed these points, there may be a defect. Contact support for this. On this page you can make a repair request and arrange a call back.
• Also check whether you still have a guarantee and replace the Xbox One with a new model if necessary.
