My timer is installed and works manually but the timer dial does not spin. Any ideas?

I can only imagine that the circular time dial is not securely connected to the timer shaft. There is a philips head screw that attaches the dial to the shaft. My guess is that the clock shaft is turning and that since the dial is not 'connected' to the shaft, that it is not advancing in time...so take off the dial, examine how it connects/interlocks to the shaft and then re-install it.

Have you verified the motor is actually turning? If it is and the dial is not rotating, there may be a part that is stripped where the dial sits on the shaft. You may be able to put a washer or two under the screw that holds the dial in place so that it is held tight against the rotating shaft.

There are a number of reasons the time clock dial does not spin. Try turning the dial counter clockwise by hand and see if you encounter any resistance. Make sure the feed to the clock is under the proper screw and is tightened down. A reversal of the neutral and hot leg will allow you to operate the clock switch and get the same results you are getting but the clock motor will not operate when the switch is off. Listen to the motor drive of the clock. Any noise? Touch it. Is it warm? Is the dial on the clock loose? Not being able to physically see your installation, these are the only suggestions I can think of in your situation. There are a number of reasons the time clock dial does not spin.

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.

Check the switch under the time wheel. It may be stuck so as not moving when the time-wheel gets to it it stalls.

You do not need to open the timer to adjust the pins. The timer is packaged with the pins pushed in. Try pulling out on the pins, they should pop out (not completely disconnect, but will be sticking out slightly further).

Have you installed the OFF/ON dogs on the clock? Also check to be sure the clock dial is seated completely on the clock shaft. Check the clock dial to be sure it is turning. If all of the above appears to be satisfactory, contact Amazon for a replacement...

Sounds like you are using it in the Manual mode. It should be able to toggle the cursor to the "Auto" mode (shows in LCD) in which case the timer function takes over. The On/Off is to manually control it on demand. I don't own this so I don't know if the Man/Auto is controlled by Mode button? But I have other timers and it sounds like this is what you need to do.

Yup that's what I have mine on. I bought a cheap timer (2 pack Stanley) from Amazon and it works perfectly. I use the timer function all the time and then turn timer off when I want to operate it manually

I no longer have that timer. For some reason it quit working. I found it very hard to program.

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.

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!

you connect the 2 timer in series or parallel? (if series the timer front and back in the circuit may cause the on off problem)You are saying the timer can not switch to auto and the manual function also not working? Had you check your supply at the timer terminal is it connected correctly?The timer activation time "on" and "off" is set correctly?Do you set it to be turn on and off on specify day or everyday (need set and select day/days)

Oh my word. Thank you for the question. YES. I tried it as you said... I was wondering why my timers would all start over. I'v purchased a lot of them, so I won't forget things.. Yes... I put in 3 seconds, it went off; so I pushed stop. Then, I just pushed start again, and it counted down the 3 seconds. I did it about 4 times... 'cool' and thanks again for the question.

Where is it, on the machine? When I turn mine on, it just goes to the timer times. How do I set it to be continueous?

Hold the side button and the timer button at the same time! The battery might be dead b/ c the battery only lasted about 2 weeks on the one I bought!

Make sure the spin time is set for more then 5 seconds. I had a similar problem. Check the voltage on your batteries. The meter in the feeder is in lnconsistant. Replace batteries if necessary. Also let the feeder system reset by removing the batteries for a while.

I haven't experienced that issue. I was thinking though, do you have a timer set? I am sorry. Please let us know how you get this resolved.

Just be patient. It is the old "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again". I followed each direction and was able to set the time and timer. I use the timer all the time. Good luck. Barb
