Microwave clock loses time or resets intermittently without showing PF; unit otherwise works.

Safety: Use caution when working around electrical outlets and panels.

• Check outlet: Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet. Try a different outlet on a known-good circuit.
• Avoid shared loads: Do not share the microwave circuit with large appliances that may cause voltage dips.
• Power reset: Unplug for several minutes, then plug back in and set the clock. Monitor for recurrence.
• Control board replacement: If the clock continues to lose time or reset without actual power loss, the control board may be failing and should be replaced.

Persistent timing issues usually indicate an aging control board.
