Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This is a low-risk issue, but disconnect power before removing the control panel.
- Attempt reset: Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power and try setting the clock again.
- Check keypad: Ensure the Clock, Timer, and number keys respond. If some keys are dead, the keypad is likely failing.
- Inspect control: Remove the control panel and check for signs of moisture or corrosion around the keypad connector.
- Replace control assembly: On many Magic Chef models, the clock is integrated into the EOC. Replace the electronic oven control or clock/timer module as a unit.
When to call a technician: If you rely on timed cooking features and are not comfortable replacing the control, seek professional service.
