Possible Causes
Failed backup capacitor on control board, Defective EEPROM, Power interruptions from loose plug or outlet, Internal low-voltage regulator fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before inspecting the cord or outlet.
- Check plug fit: Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet and is not loose or wiggling.
- Avoid frequent unplugging: Leave the coffee maker plugged in if you rely on clock and program memory.
- Use stable power: Avoid outlets controlled by wall switches that may cut power unexpectedly.
If the clock resets even with stable power, the internal backup circuit on the control board is failing. Repair requires board-level service or replacement.
