Salter
Timer Power Retention / Backup Fault
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.
