Clock or timer resets to 12:00 or loses time frequently.

Safety first: Unplug before accessing the control panel.

Usage considerations:

• Keep the coffee maker plugged into a stable outlet; frequent unplugging will reset the clock on most models.

Control board inspection:

• Remove the control panel and inspect the PCB for a backup capacitor or small battery (if present).
• Check for leakage or bulging; replace the board if components are failing.

When to replace:

• If the clock loses time even when continuously powered, replace the main control PCB.
