Possible Causes

Overheating of control panel due to failed cooling fan, Failing timer power supply capacitor, Loose neutral or live connection to timer, Voltage drop at terminal block

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety warning: Disconnect power before accessing the control panel or terminal block.

  • 1. Check cooling fan and ventilation: Ensure the cooling fan runs and vents are clear. Overheating can cause the timer electronics to reset.
  • 2. Inspect wiring to timer: Remove the control panel and check all connections to the timer module. Tighten any loose spades or screws.
  • 3. Examine terminal block: With power off, check for heat damage or loose connections at the main terminal block. Repair as needed.
  • 4. Replace timer module: If wiring and cooling are correct but the clock still resets, the timer's internal power supply is likely failing. Replace the timer module.
