What Causes Error Code 42?

Error code 42 is caused by connection issues. To be more specific: Your device fails to connect to the Disney+ service. Instead of “Error Code 42” popping up, it's also possible that your screen goes black, and you're only able to hear the sound or not even that. Don't panic, nothing is broken. There are two main reasons for this issue:

1. There is a problem with the Disney+ servers
2. There is a problem with your internet connection

Well, if there's an issue with the Disney+ servers, you can't do anything but wait, but you sure want to figure out if that's the case. To do so, follow this checklist:

• Check if there's a known issue with Disney+ using Downdetector or IsItDownRightNow?
• If both websites agree that there isn't an issue, chances are good that the problem is on your side

If the problem is because of the Disney+ servers, just do something else and check if the issue is fixed from time to time. Why not switch to another platform like Amazon Prime, with this free trial until the issue is solved?
