Possible Causes

Weak backup capacitor or battery on PCB, Firmware bug, Main PCB aging, Power interruptions during saving

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the main switch before opening the housing.

  • Confirm symptom: Note whether time and schedule reset only after long storage or every time power is cycled.
  • Avoid frequent power cycling: Leave the main switch ON during normal use and only turn it OFF for storage or service.
  • Update firmware (if available): Check with McCulloch support for any firmware updates addressing clock issues.
  • Replace PCB if necessary: If settings are consistently lost, the main PCB's backup circuit may have failed and the board should be replaced.
