Nintendo Switch: How to fix Error Code 2137-7504

The Nintendo Switch may be one of our favorite Nintendo systems of all time, but even with everything it does brilliantly, it will make an error or two. If you've seen error code 2137-7504, it's likely that you're having trouble accessing your eShop or downloading or playing a game that you own. Here's how to get things fixed.

The Nintendo Switch error code 2137-7504 indicates that your console is unable to connect to the Nintendo eShop or Switch Online servers because they are presently unavailable. Attempting to purchase or download games will be impossible until the problem is resolved. This is an error code that indicates a problem with Nintendo's servers rather than your computer. The service is presently unavailable for any reason, and you will have to wait till it is restored.

While this error code is specific to the eShop, it could also apply to any games that are shared between systems. If you aren't using the account's primary Switch, you will most likely experience this problem until Nintendo repairs their servers. To emphasize, this is not a problem created by you; simply wait and try to play a game using either a real cartridge or the Switch's main account.
