what if the timer does not go on when it is supposed to

hey ken, I'm sure you changed the battery, I just recently changed my unit as timer readout was so light you couldn't read it, al

There are two ways this could happen. One is if the power goes out. Then you will need to reset the timer to the correct time. The second is if the timer stops are loose or fall off. The best way to prevent this is to make sure the stops are tightened. I check mine every few weeks as I can, to make sure they haven't loosened over time. So far, no issues.

The activation of the on/off function is mechanical. Be sure the metal tabs provided with the timer are installed correctly. Read the directions CAREFULLY. Be sure the tabs are seated completely into the slot. The tabs make a physical contact with the switching system providing the on/off function. Good luck!

Then the water heater doesn't automatically come on. But you can turn it on manually at any time.

It should come on if you have the pin pressed all the way in. If the pin is in all the way it "trips" the timer to come on and go off. If electricity goes off you will need to reset the timer to the correct time just like the clocks in your home

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.

This happened to me also. I noticed that the little tabs that determine when the timer goes on were bumped and not fully in or out. I set them correctly, either in or all the way out, and it's been working correctly since. I hope this helps you.

If your timer does not have a battery back-up, then you would need to program the correct time again. The feeder will still feed once the power comes back on, it will just feed at a different time but the same amount as you set.

Mine does the same thing. It stays on indefinitely, so must be a timer issue. I have contacted Amazon and they are sending a replacement.

Touch the button on the right and the timer will go off. That button turns it on and off.

Hit the button a few times, it is on a timer. I have this one at my lake house with no issues. Perhaps contact seller.

It turns off at the timer was set but it turns back on again without any motions. So basilly, it's on all the time.

Make sure the little switch is positioned in the center Position. Left is OFF. Center is Timer program, and right position is on continuous. If the clock rotates automatically then it is wired correctly. If it still does not turn off then I don't know what the problem could be other than a mechanical failure.

I doubt it. I would look into another timer. I bought 5 in order to get 1 that worked.

My husband said that shortly after installing ours did that and we just turned off for ten minutes, then it worked okay. He did re-check the timer setting and that was okay. So might need to check and make sure its on a time to go off. If it set for a long time till it goes off then that might be the cause.

I'd be impressed if it were reliable inside first. The timer on mine stopped working the day after my return window expired. Just a heads up.

Check to see how you have the timer set. It more than likely is set to do that. I personally have mine set to run all the time. It has been running that way for 8 years with no problems.

Yes, if you turn it on by way of the timer it will shut off and ding. If you use the stay on it will not.

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.

When you use the timer it turns off automatically. You probably used the "on" position not the timer.

Consider yourself lucky. I have four or five of these things and they don't even count down. Oh, what I would give for a timer that counted down. (Probably a couple dollars more than I tried to save on these!)
