How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before PCB inspection.

  • Step 1 – Verify with external timer: Run a 10‑minute cycle and compare with a separate clock. Note any discrepancy.
  • Step 2 – Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes and retry. Minor glitches may clear.
  • Step 3 – Inspect PCB: Look for damage near the crystal oscillator or timing components (if visible).
  • Step 4 – Replace PCB: Because timing is controlled by the microcontroller, the practical repair is to replace the main control PCB if the timer remains inaccurate.
