I don't have a Roku player, it's a Roku TV.

My Roku Premier Model 3920X recently started sending the on-screen alert message that it was overheating.  It is not in a cabinet, is well-ventilated and overheats within minutes of turning on the TV.  The Roku help page was not helpful because it basically says to stop using it.  Is there no other solution?

My TV started sending me the message "Your Roku device is overheating" for the first time Friday, July 15th. I unplugged it & today (7/17/22) I can't even get the TV to turn on. I don't know what to do.

@MartyFins, you have an actual Roku TV (not a Roku device connected to a TV) and you got the overheating message?  I didn't even know that was possible.  You might want to contact the TV's manufacturer.

As far as I know, it’s not possible for an actual RokuTV set to display the overheating message.  Only stand-alone Roku devices can overheat and display the overheating message.

It IS possible for a Roku TV to say that it is averheating.  That is happening to us, and our tv is placed under a ceiling fan! You touch the TV and it is not hot anywhere.  This is starting to look like a programming update gone wrong.

Well I guess I never knew that either. Thank you for the specific information.
