Possible Causes

Failed backup capacitor on PCB, Faulty EEPROM, Control board design without memory retention

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before opening the control panel.

  • Step 1 – Check manual: Some basic Severin models do not retain clock settings by design. Confirm if this behavior is normal for your model.
  • Step 2 – Use stable power: Avoid frequent unplugging and use a surge protector to minimize power interruptions.
  • Step 3 – Control PCB service: If the model should retain settings but does not, the backup capacitor or EEPROM on the PCB may be faulty, requiring board repair or replacement.
