No matter what I do the green light won't work, is it defective?

2 things: 1) The button will light green for testing only for a short period (around 30-40 blinks I believe). Once it has blinked more than this, it will not light up again until you reset it. So...with this in mind, for the first step, push the button in until you get a short red blink. It is now ready to test again and will blink green if the sensor picks up a magnet. 2) After you have reset the button as explained in step 1, we can check for a second reason that it isn't lighting. The sensors must be within 2 mm of a magnet or they will not be activated and the light will not turn green. If you are not familiar with the metric system, 2 mm is a VERY small distance. Adjust the sensor and spoke magnet so that they are &lt;2 mm apart and the magnet passes the sensor directly over the line one the sensor. Once you have this positioned correctly, spin the wheel and now the sensor light will blink green when the magnet passes it. ....3) IF you have first reset the sensor light AND then have the magnet positioned directly over the line on the sensor AND &lt; 2 mm from the sensor and it still won't light green then it is defective. My guess is that it is not defective. More likely is that the magnet is just not positioned exactly right to be picked up by the sensor. This is very finicky and you just have to keep adjusting until it picks up. Remember, 2 mm is a very small distance. Basically, the magnet must almost be touching the sensor.

I had that problem at first until I synchronized the computer the sensor. Make sure the sensor is synchronized with the computer. When the computer is synchronized with sensor you will get a small icon on your computer. You can get more tips from Youtube. I hope this helps...

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

I'd first make sure they're actually functioning. Are both red and green lights on? Green light is the important one and should be on now and again; not all the time, but should certainly be on once in a while. If not, your unit is defective. If Red isn't on, it's not working correctly (power issues, etc.). One should actually be sufficient for one level according to Pest Offense's web site by the way. I'd suggest contacting them though if the lights are working as you aren't doing anything wrong. These are a simple plug in the wall and forget about it product.

I was told its green when fully charged but mine worked for 10 minutes, had a funny smell & quit working. Id send it back & get something of quality

Yes, it should glow green. Maybe the battery isn't inserted correctly or the battery that came with it is already dead. The battery that came with mine did not last very long.

The green light turns off when it's building up more steam. Just give it a minute and the green light wil come back on.

All the lights worked when we first purchased it and then the green light went out

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty.I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

I have never experienced that problem just the red light until it is fully charged and the green light comes on

How long did you charge it? Sometimes it has to charge a while, even over night if it has been out a long time. Then it might make a red light first. LET GO and wait a few minutes and it may turn green. if these quirks don't fix, I don't know what else to suggest.

Make sure that the green indicator light is glowing on the plug-in end of the adapter. I have found that, occasionally, I have to "jiggle" the plug a little bit to get that light to come on. I thought it had something to do with my outlets, but it may me a manufacturing defect.

Mine does not light up green as well. Never gets lower than 80 so it does not bother me.

I charged mine last and the light wasn't showing green. I left it on longer and eventually the green light showed up. Mine was only a year old.

If the green light is on, the battery is good. They say you should clean the unit out with a can of air once a year. If you do that and the green light is one, contact the manufacturer and they will help you.

On my unit the green light went out after a while, while the unit was still in warranty. The unit otherwise appeared OK. I called Intermatic and after some discussion and email they sent me a new unit. Their thought was that the light burned out. I took the 'bad' one apart and it looked OK on the inside, so it likely was a bad bulb. The green light should always be on when the unit is powered.

You just have to push the button once and it turns on nd the green light should come on and if it doesnt then it doesnt work because its noy hard at all..

Yes mine has a green light and a red light that goes off about every minute. This is letting you know your unit is working
