Possible Causes
Weak backup capacitor or battery on control board, Loose neutral or live connection to control, Power supply instability, Faulty main control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the control board.
- 1. Check mains connections: Inspect the terminal block and wiring to the control board for loose connections that could cause brief power loss.
- 2. Surge protection: Consider using a surge-protected outlet or having an electrician check for supply issues if power fluctuations are frequent.
- 3. Control board inspection: Look for a leaking or bulging capacitor near the clock circuit. If found, the board should be replaced.
Because the clock circuit is integrated into the control board, persistent time loss usually requires board replacement.
