Possible Causes
Failed clock module on control PCB, Power supply instability to clock, Corrupted firmware, Faulty backup capacitor or battery (if fitted)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the control panel.
- Check supply stability: Inspect the mains terminal block and wiring for loose connections that could cause brief power drops. Tighten and repair as needed.
- Reset the oven: Leave the oven disconnected for at least 5 minutes, then reconnect and attempt to set the clock again. This can clear minor firmware glitches.
- Inspect control PCB: Remove the control panel and examine the clock/timer section of the PCB. Look for swollen capacitors or burn marks. Replace the PCB if components are visibly damaged.
- Firmware update: Some Amica models allow firmware updates via service tools; this must be done by an authorized service center.
- Final check: After repair or replacement, set the clock and run a timed cooking program to confirm correct operation.
