Possible Causes
Firmware bug, Faulty control panel buttons, Real-time clock circuit failure on PCB, User programming error
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No internal hazards for basic checks, but unplug before opening the unit.
Steps:
- Confirm procedure: Recheck the user manual for the correct delayed start programming steps; many errors are due to incorrect sequence.
- Reset clock: If your model has a clock, set it correctly before using the timer.
- Test buttons: Ensure the timer and +/- buttons respond properly; if not, see keypad troubleshooting.
- Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes to clear any firmware glitch.
Repair: Persistent timer failure with otherwise normal operation usually indicates a control PCB logic fault or control panel membrane issue.
