OXO Unstable Timer / Power Retention Fault

Coffee maker’s clock or timer loses time or resets frequently.

Safety Warning

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Frequent power interruptions, Faulty internal backup capacitor or battery, Control board memory issue, Plugging into switched outlet that is turned off

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the outlet is properly wired and grounded.

Use unswitched outlet: Plug the coffee maker into an outlet that is always on, not controlled by a wall switch.
Avoid power strips: Use a direct wall connection to reduce the chance of accidental shutoff.
Factory reset: Perform a control panel reset per the manual and reprogram the clock.
Monitor behavior: If the clock still loses time despite stable power, the internal backup circuit on the control board may be failing and the board may need replacement.
