Nest Doorbell won’t factory reset

Grovernk — Sun, 12 Jun 2022 02:30:02 GMT

Nest Doorbell recently stopped connecting to WiFi. I tried doing the reset but they didn’t solve the issue.

when i tried to do a factory reset by pushing the reset button and the chime button at same time it doesn’t work. I just get the white light going on and off not the other indicators.

this product isn’t even a year old, super disappointed

any ideas?

What you’ve described is the reset procedure for the wired doorbell. If that’s what you have and it’s not working, best option is to contact support.

However if you’re using the battery version, the steps are slightly different:

Locate the reset pin hole on the upper-back of the doorbell.
Insert and hold the pin (use a paperclip):

At 10 seconds, the status light will blink yellow four times, and you’ll hear a countdown tone.
At 12 seconds, the status light will be steady, solid yellow while the doorbell starts the factory reset, and you’ll hear a confirmation tone.

Release the button. Your doorbell will restore to its factory settings.

@Rubes I have the Nest Doorbell (battery) and the factory reset steps are not working for me. When I use the paper clip to press the reset button a green light comes on after 5 seconds. I continue to hold for the full 10+ seconds and the yellow light never comes on. I have tried this multiple times with the device plugged in and not plugged in and I always get the same result, green light only after about 5 second.
