How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the control panel.

  • Attempt reset: Turn off power for several minutes, then restore and attempt to set the clock according to the user manual.
  • Inspect timer module: Remove the control panel fascia and locate the clock/timer module. Check for burnt components or bulging capacitors.
  • Check connectors: Ensure all plugs to the timer are firmly seated and free of corrosion.
  • Replace timer module: If the clock still cannot be set or keeps losing time, replace the timer/clock module with a genuine Ariston part. Transfer wiring one connector at a time.
  • Re-test: Set the time and verify that the oven can now start and run cooking programs.
