What Does Wyze Lock Error Code 3001 Mean and How Do I Fix Calibration Failed?

Device: Wyze Lock (Wyze Lock, Wyze Lock Bolt)

Your Wyze Lock shows Error Code 3001 which means calibration failed. Calibration is the process where the Wyze Lock learns the exact rotation needed to lock and unlock your specific deadbolt. If calibration fails the lock cannot determine the correct positions and will not be able to lock or unlock reliably. Error 3001 usually means the lock motor cannot complete the full rotation due to a physical obstruction, misalignment between the lock and the door frame, or the deadbolt being too stiff for the lock motor to turn. The Wyze Lock becomes non-functional for smart features until calibration succeeds.
