Start by holding the power button for a full 10 seconds &mdash; a stuck short-press loop can read as &#8216;won&#8217;t turn off&#8217;. If the light stays on and modes won&#8217;t change, remove it from the water, dry it, fully recharge, then reset the controller.

Because the unit stays lit and runs, the battery is fine &mdash; this is a control-side fault, not a power fault.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"section-card\">\n        <div class=\"section-icon icon-steps\"><\/div>\n        <h2>Reset the Button and Controller<\/h2>\n        <p>1. Remove the S1 from the water and dry it thoroughly, especially around the power button. 2. Press and hold the power button for a full 10 seconds &mdash; don&#8217;t tap it, and don&#8217;t release early. 3. Fully recharge on the wall charger until the adapter LED is solid green. 4. Hold the power button again for 10 seconds to force a controller reset. 5. Test whether the unit now turns off and whether modes can be changed. If it does, a stuck short-press loop or a transient controller lock was the cause.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"section-card\">\n        <div class=\"section-icon icon-warn\"><\/div>\n        <h2>Won&#8217;t Turn Off vs Won&#8217;t Turn On<\/h2>\n        <p>The opposite symptom &mdash; a unit that won&#8217;t power on at all &mdash; is a different fault covered in our <a href=\"\/blogs\/troubleshooting\/s1-wont-turn-on\/\">won&#8217;t turn on guide<\/a>. If the mode can&#8217;t be changed but the unit does power off, the issue may instead be app control &mdash; see our <a href=\"\/blogs\/troubleshooting\/s1-app-reconnection\/\">app reconnection guide<\/a>.

Contact Support<\/h2>\n        <p>If a full 10-second reset and a recharge don&#8217;t let the S1 power down, the power button or the controller has failed. Submit a warranty ticket with your serial number and note whether the green light stays on during the long press and whether any mode change works at all.
