How to Fix Error Code 60
-
Power Cycle the Wyze Cam Floodlight
Always turn off the circuit breaker before working near or on any wired electrical fixture. Do not attempt to reset or touch the fixture while power is live. -
Check the Wyze App and Firmware Version
Do not unplug or interrupt power to the device during a firmware update, as this can corrupt the firmware and require a factory reset. -
Inspect the Floodlight Bulbs Visually
Ensure the circuit breaker is fully off and use a non-conductive (fiberglass or wood) ladder. Never inspect electrical fixtures with live power. Allow the unit to cool for at least 10 minutes before touching the light panels, as they can be very hot after operation. -
Check the Wiring Connections at the Fixture
Use a non-contact voltage tester to double-check there is no live voltage before touching any wires. Even with the breaker off, it is good practice to verify with a tester. -
Perform a Factory Reset on the Device
A factory reset will erase all device settings, schedules, and automations for this device. Make note of your settings before resetting so you can restore them afterward. -
Replace the LED Floodlight Module
Only use a replacement LED module that is compatible with the Wyze Cam Floodlight. Ensure the circuit breaker is off throughout this process. If you are not comfortable working with wired electrical fixtures, hire a licensed electrician.

When to Call a Professional
You should contact a licensed electrician if you are not comfortable working with hardwired electrical fixtures, if you find scorched or melted wiring inside the junction box or fixture, if your home's wiring appears damaged or improperly installed, or if the error persists after replacing the LED module. Additionally, contact Wyze Support directly if the device is still under warranty, as they may replace the unit at no cost rather than requiring you to perform repairs yourself.Frequently Asked Questions
What does Wyze Error Code 60 mean?
Wyze Error Code 60 means the Wyze Cam Floodlight has detected a bulb or LED module fault. This can be caused by a burned-out LED panel, a loose wiring connection, moisture damage inside the housing, or a software/firmware glitch that is falsely triggering the fault detection.
Can I still use my Wyze Cam if Error Code 60 appears?
Yes, in many cases the camera function of the Wyze Cam Floodlight will continue to work even when Error Code 60 is displayed, but the floodlight itself may not illuminate. You should still resolve the error promptly to restore full functionality and prevent any further electrical issues.
Will Wyze replace my floodlight if it shows Error Code 60?
If your Wyze Cam Floodlight is within its warranty period (typically one year from purchase), Wyze Support may replace the unit. Contact Wyze customer support through the app or their website, describe Error Code 60, and provide your proof of purchase. Out-of-warranty units will generally require you to purchase a replacement LED module or a new unit.
How do I prevent Wyze Error Code 60 from happening again?
To reduce the chance of a recurrence, keep the firmware updated regularly, ensure the floodlight housing is properly sealed against moisture especially before rainy seasons, avoid using the floodlight on circuits prone to power surges, and consider adding a surge protector on the circuit if possible. Periodically inspect the fixture for any signs of water intrusion or physical damage.
Is Wyze Error Code 60 the same as the floodlight not turning on at all?
Not always. Error Code 60 specifically refers to a fault detected in the LED bulb or module circuitry. The floodlight may fail to turn on as a result, but the error can also appear even if the light was working intermittently before the fault was logged. If the light has never worked since installation, also check that the circuit breaker is on and that wiring connections were made correctly during installation.
