Possible Causes

Unstable mains supply, Failing backup capacitor or battery on control PCB, Control PCB firmware issue, Power interruptions from loose plug

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before opening the control housing.

User checks:

  • Ensure the plug fits firmly in the outlet and is not loose.
  • Avoid switching the outlet off between uses if the clock relies on mains power.

PCB inspection:

  • Open the control panel and inspect for a small backup battery or supercapacitor.
  • If present and visibly leaking or swollen, replace it with the same type and rating.
  • If no discrete backup component is present, the issue may be within the control PCB and require board replacement.
