How to Factory Reset a myQ Device

A factory reset restores a myQ device to its original settings and prepares it for setup again. Use a factory reset only when directed by troubleshooting, transferring ownership, or resolving account association issues such as Error 310.

Before You Factory Reset

Factory Reset the Device If

✅ You are moving and leaving the device behind.

✅ You are taking ownership of a previously installed myQ device.

✅ You see Error 310 and the ownership article directs you to perform a reset.

✅ The device cannot be added after ownership transfer.

✅ A troubleshooting article or Technical Support directs you to perform a factory reset.

Do Not Factory Reset the Device If

❌ You changed your Wi-Fi password.

❌ You replaced your router.

❌ The device appears offline.

❌ You forgot your myQ password.

❌ You cannot sign in to your myQ account.

For those situations, use one of the articles below instead:

Error 310

When you see Error 310, it means your myQ serial number is already linked to another account. A myQ device can only be added to one account at a time.

Common causes include:

  • The device was previously owned or installed
  • You moved into a home with an existing myQ device
  • You used a different email address to register the device
  • You no longer have access to the previous myQ account

How to fix it: to clear the device from the old account, perform a factory reset using the steps below. This will remove the link to the previous account and allow you to register the device under your account.

For complete ownership-transfer guidance, see: myQ Device Ownership | Moving, Taking Ownership, and Error 310 Help

What Happens During a Factory Reset?

A factory reset removes all saved configuration information and prepares the device for setup again.

Depending on the product, a factory reset will:

  • Remove the device from a myQ account
  • Clear Wi-Fi settings
  • Remove paired accessories
  • Remove ownership information
  • Require full setup in the myQ app
