Why does my Elmo stop singing in the middle of the song even with fresh batteries?

Because they are poorly made. We have gone through two BRAND NEW ELMO dolls in only about two months. My son loves this doll and it wasn't miss handled. The doll is just poorly made.

That's a great question! I don't know! In fact, mine stopped playing all together yesterday! He's not even a year old! And I push the button and keep him where the kids with him, so it's not bc they're rough with him. Our first one was from a consignment sale and did the same thing, but I assumed it was bc the people before were rough on him. Now we have two Elmo's that don't work.

We have never had a problem with that. It only plays when someone bumps it. So, if you don't have any animals that might be bumping it in the night, then maybe you just have gotten a very ambitious Zebra. Editing to add, that maybe you might want to change the batteries if your toy starts doing this. I have noticed with some of the other toys that when the batteries start wearing down the toys start acting weird, like turning on when no one is using it.

You must just be getting defective products. I just went and double checked and our does make sounds/plays music when you reach in the jar and also when you drop the cookie shapes in the holes too.

Maybe it is defective. Make sure it is on, and the green light is on by holding the middle mp3 botton for 2-3 seconds. Make sure the volume is up by holding down the up botton, and try forwarding tracks. Good luck...

First, make sure the batteries are in correctly. I have had this happen too many times. I can't believe I just admitted that. Also try feeding your furbies. Put you finger in his been and rub his tongue.

I haven't had this problem but can imagine two solutions: - check the batteries if not already done so - open the toy and check the speaker connection, re-solder if the wire has come loose (use an electrician if need be).

The music plays until you turn it off yourself or until the battery runs out, whichever comes first , and it does the whole time the music plays. I fair warning, the music is kind of loud, and the songs it plays are a little bit obscure mixed with a well known lullabies. It also plays about 8 seconds of each song, and I haven't counted how many songs plays, but over 12.

I tried the iPod/speaker route. On any given day, one or the other of them would be out of batteries. My speaker was cordless, so I had to replace the AA batteries every couple weeks and my iPod had to be charged every few days, if not every day. So, invariably, one of them would not be working properly. Or the iPod would be in the other room charging, etc., etc. Also, the MP3 of rain that I was using would fade out at the end of the track and fade back up at the start of the track, so if I put it on repeat, the baby would wake up every time the track restarted. Really frustrating. Get something that plugs in and that will run continuously. I tried the iPod/speaker route. On any given day, one or the other of them would be out of batteries.

I have another brand that does that. I leave it in and switch to FM to get it to stop. When I go back to tape it works properly without the clicking and ejecting.

With ours you have to push his mouth down until you hear the light click. It should "chomp" every 3rd time or so.

Though I didn't see it listed, it does play sound by pushing the "press" buttons behind the ears. That's IF you put batteries in...we elected to skip the noise and not put the batteries in...I tried it out before giving the gift and found the song just too annoying. The movement is provided by the child rocking on the horse.

Mine does that too when the batteries are low. Try new batteries. Otherwise it must be a defect because even when the wheels are crooked or the gears are worn out, it still goes.

Yes, unless you change the battery, then it does a full restart. But you may go back to the song using the artist feature.

No. You probably just have a defective toy. :/ Mine worked at first and very shortly after, stopped. I loved this toy while it worked but it sure didn't take long to break. It started with the top two buttons playing the same note, then the top three, and then it stopped strumming.

It is supposed to stop. For any reason the item is in slight motion, of course the alarm will continue to sound. Also, the battery can be going dead and will continue to go-off until completely dead. Check battery for voltage capacity. Otherwise item could be defective.

Mine is very loud too and I was also wondering if it was defective. Can barely hear the baby speak over the noise. Also, I have had to change the batteries twice since Christmas 4 days ago- this can't be normal.
