My timer sometimes made buzz sound and could not get started. I had to manually push the on-off buttons to "help" get it started. Is the timer broken?

since it is intermittent it sounds like you may have a load (that is not always on) connected on the timer line side. The timer side needs a dedicated path. Also, you may want to check and make sure that the voltage on the line side matches the voltage you set the unit to.

These are multi voltage units. Do you have the correct voltage setting? Sounds like you don't.

The timer is activated when button is pushed and it is not audible it stops vibrating when timer is up

I'm not sure if your's is defective, but the timer on mine works fine. There's a little resistance, but aren't all timers.

Hi Sallee! I tried it out this morning and set my phone stopwatch to time it. It buzzed at 15 min. 45 sec. I hope this helps! Too bad your buzzer doesn't work!!

I used it twice since I bought and same thing happened to me also recently. I just pressed it down again until my timer went off

Yes to both questions. This is the best timer I've ever had. Very flexible very user friendly.I've owned two of these timers and have never had the problem of it continuing to beep after pushing the stop button.

goto your settings, and check to see if you have automatic timer....turn off

Seriously ? Mine never stops unless I power it off. The only thing I can think of is something with the timer setting. Maybe you have the timer set to go off every few minutes. Can you get a stopwatch and get some data on the intervals of on/off ? Maybe unplugging it will reset it if it is for some reason set by the timer option. If that doesn't reset it then perhaps it is malfunctioning. It definitely sounds like timer related.

I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best of luck I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best... » Read More I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best of luck « Show Less

Wish I had an answer. I've noticed that about mine as well. I set the duration for 10 seconds, and it only dumps for 5 on the timer.

Mine got into exactly the same state. Turns-out the battery was simply under-powered (so not completely dead, but not powerful enough to make the timer work). When I changed the battery, the timer starting working again just fine!

I set mine on "timer" and then switched it to "on". It worked for a while but about half of my timers wouldn't hold the actual time so they wouldn't come on at the right time.

Make sure you have a 120 volt supply line not 240 volt. If you have the correct voltage then make sure the timer disc is properly seated which I suspect you have done, then it is probably a faulty timer.

Make a loud buzzing noise when pressing the button? May need to open it up and clean it. Tutorials on YouTube.

I have three of the Intermatic timers all work great. I think it's a faulty unit. hope that helps good luck Wayne

I have not had any problems. Is this timer new, or has it been working ok until now? If new, I would double check wiring, and if ok, would assume its defective.

When I got my machine, I turned it on, and was unable to set both the temp and the timer. It turned out it was simply broken. I ended up returning it and they sent me a replacement that works beautifully. It might just be defective.
