Possible Causes
Failed backup capacitor on PCB, Firmware issue, Faulty real-time clock circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Note: Many multicookers do not retain time settings when unplugged; this may be normal. Check your Kenwood manual.
- Confirm behavior: If the manual states that time should be retained, then a fault is likely.
- Stable power: Avoid frequent unplugging; use the main power button instead if available.
Repairing backup memory circuits requires PCB-level work; typically the control board is replaced as a unit.
