Ninja Timer / Clock Inaccuracy

Smoker timer counts down too fast or too slow compared to a reference clock.

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

Faulty timing circuit on control board, Firmware bug, Power supply instability

Safety first: Unplug the smoker before removing the control panel.

Verify with multiple tests: Compare the smoker timer against a reliable clock over several runs to confirm consistent error.
Stable power: Ensure the smoker is plugged directly into a wall outlet to minimize voltage fluctuations.
Factory reset: Perform any available reset procedure from the manual.
Board replacement: Persistent timing errors usually indicate a control board fault; replace the main control PCB.
