Possible Causes
Incorrect clock setting (AM/PM), Program not confirmed properly, Faulty real-time clock circuit on PCB, Start relay not energizing from timer signal
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep the unit plugged into a stable outlet when using timer functions.
- Verify clock: Set the current time carefully, paying attention to AM/PM if applicable.
- Reprogram auto-start: Follow the T-fal manual step-by-step to set the auto-brew time and confirm the program (often requires pressing a separate Program or Auto button).
- Test immediate brew: Confirm that manual brewing works normally. If manual brew fails, the issue is not limited to the timer.
If manual brewing works but the timer never starts, the internal clock or control logic is likely faulty and may require control board replacement.
