Hi @JK-MO3 may I ask what Fitbit tracker we are asking about? 

Have you tried a shutdown or restart. Checked that the heart rate is enabled and tried disabling/enabling?

Hi @JK-MO3, welcome to the Community Forums.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention and for trying some troubleshooting steps before posting over here. To better assist you and just as @Rich_Laue asked, can you please specify which Fitbit device are you using? If you haven't already done so, I recommend you to check the information that's specified on our help article: Why don't I see my heart rate on my Fitbit device? and try the troubleshooting steps to fix the heart rate sensors of your Fitbit device.

Looking forward to your reply. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hi there,I have the fitbit versa 2. I have followed the recommended steps to try to fix the heart rate monitor, unfortunately none of them have worked. The light is completely unresponsive. The device on turned 1 yr old on Jan 16th. This effects the heart rate, excercise (cardio or fatburn registering) and the sleep monitoring portion is there anything else that can be done please? Thank you for replying!Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Hello,I have the fitbit versa 2. I have tried to restart the device, I have uninstalled and repaired the device (to try starting from scratch), I verified the heart rate was on the "on" in settings, cleaned it.... ect. There is no light on to read the heart rate anymore. Looking forward to your reply with further help/ tips!Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
