Possible Causes

Recent power outage, Unset internal clock, Weak internal backup capacitor on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal repair is needed for clock setting. Only open the unit if diagnosing backup power issues.

  • 1. Set the clock: Use the HOUR and MINUTE buttons (or equivalent) to set the correct time. Refer to your GE model’s manual for exact steps.
  • 2. Reprogram auto-brew: If you use the programmable brew feature, re-enter the desired start time and ensure AUTO or PROGRAM mode is enabled.
  • 3. Avoid frequent unplugging: Leave the coffee maker plugged in to maintain the clock. If the time resets frequently without power loss, the internal backup circuit may be failing and the control board may eventually need replacement.
