Possible Causes

Recent power outage, Unplugged unit, Failed clock circuit on control board, Weak internal backup capacitor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal hazards for this issue; do not open the unit for clock problems.

Reset the clock:

  • Press and hold the HOUR button until the hour digits advance to the correct time.
  • Press and hold the MINUTE button to set minutes.
  • Ensure AM/PM is correct if displayed.

Reprogram auto-brew:

  • Press PROGRAM or SET AUTO and set the desired brew time using HOUR and MINUTE.
  • Press PROGRAM again or AUTO to confirm and enable the auto-brew indicator.

If the clock will not hold time even when continuously plugged in, the control board’s clock circuit is failing and the board may need replacement.
