My timer has seemed to quit working? Just started using it Monday, May 19, 2014. I mean the time wheel isn't moving is there something I have done.

The same thing happened to me last year when I bought mine. I called intermatic and within a week, I had a new one. Bottom line is you did not do anything...these are not built that well.

I had that problem too and it just got worse with time. After a month I ended up returning it because it quit working altogether. If you're already having problems I would save yourself the frustration and return it. It's a great concept but not such a great product. I'm still looking for something better but no luck just yet.

My unit diea after about a year. I contacted Timex and they replaced it. Only think I can suggest is to contact Timex. Did you clean out the battery compartment to make sure there is not corrosion on the contacts. This is about all I can suggest to you. good luck. PS. Dont be insulted but do you use a good electro gel.Sam S

No I would think you would have to reset timer every time you start something. I reset timer every time I use the one I have. I guess the best way to say it the timer will count down. Then after that the timer will restart its self & count UP. FRANZ

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 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

Do you have the dials set for different times (with the yellow at less time than the green)? For us, we have the green dial turned to 30 and the yellow dial at 25. When we hit start, the yellow light and buzzer goes off in 25 minutes and the red light and final buzzer goes off 5 minutes later (at the 30 minute mark). If you set your timer this way and it doesn't work, then yes, it's defective.

It sounds like your item is defective. The timer should always be running and advancing. Hope this helps.

try pulling the black pin out of the timer and re-insert it to see if this will help.

Do you mean the count-up timer is running? The numerals are supposed to stay on all the time but the timer should not be "running". If it is you might have a defect. Why did you take the rubber stopper out? You should just have to press the time button to start or stop the timer/s. You have to make sure you have seletced the proper timer to turn on or off.

I believe you have reset the timer each time, I didn't use the time except for once but had it on all the time.

Dr. Rob,This is interesting as I have 2 of these units. One is 10 years + old on my hot tub and I have a new one for the new sign on my building. Both are keeping very accurate time. If the unit you installed is not working properly, I would suggest you 1) call the manufacture customer service line for advise or 2) return through Amazon. Sorry to hear you are having issues as my experience with these units over the years has proven them to be extremely reliable.

I have owned my timer for a few months and only used it a few times, and it just recently stopped working. For some reason, instead of telling me the temperature, the unit just says "HI". I tried removing the batteries but that didn't fix the problem. It appears some other people on Amazon mention having the same problem, and it seems to have to do with the cable for the probe being damaged.

I contacted the company, and within a couple of weeks, received a new timer unit that's worked just fine. I've had mine for a couple of years now, and am having to replace it because DH melted the cord.

Invest in a new one. That seems to be an issue with this timer. It's a great timer though and worth the investment.
