Oven clock loses time or resets to 00:00 after each use or power fluctuation.

Possible Causes

Weak internal backup capacitor or battery on timer module, Loose neutral connection, Faulty timer module, Voltage dips on supply

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate the oven from mains before accessing the control panel.

  • Check supply stability: If other appliances also reset, have an electrician check for supply issues.
  • Inspect wiring: Ensure neutral and live connections to the timer module are secure and not heat‑damaged.
  • Replace timer module: If the timer loses settings even with a stable supply, replace the Salter timer/clock module, as internal backup components are not usually serviceable.

Warning: Some ovens will not heat unless the clock is set; always reset the time after a power cut.
