Commercial Chef Loss of Non-Volatile Memory / Backup Power

Microwave clock and settings reset to default every time it is unplugged or after brief power interruptions.

Possible Causes

Design without backup memory (normal behavior), failing control board memory, intermittent power connection at cord or outlet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: Many Commercial Chef microwaves do not retain clock settings after power loss; this can be normal.

User checks:

  • Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet and is not loose.
  • Avoid using switched power strips that cut power to the microwave.

If the unit loses settings even without any power loss, the control board may be failing and could require replacement.
