Possible Causes

Time of day set incorrectly, AM/PM mis‑set, Power interruptions without reset, Faulty clock circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal work is required for basic adjustments.

  • Step 1 – Verify current time: Set the correct time of day, paying attention to AM/PM.
  • Step 2 – Check regeneration time: Ensure the regeneration start time is set to a low‑usage period (e.g., 2:00 AM).
  • Step 3 – Monitor for drift: Over several days, see if the clock drifts significantly. If so, the clock circuit may be failing.
  • Step 4 – Replace control board: If the time will not stay accurate, replace the GE electronic control board.
