I sent it back to amazon because of the PCB Plastic not sure about the timer as soon as the dial reach the correct tea setting I shut off and wait a couple of mins. I was able to get a better deal on a different brand.

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.

You absolutely do not want to let it get wet. Once it fully dries out by evaporation (no heating) it will probably work.

Hello. If you hold the front button down for a few seconds and the unit doesn't eventually emit some beeps and a blue light doesn't start flashing, you may have a problem that I can't advise you on. Good luck.

If you receive damaged merchandise, return it for a replacement at their cost. Mine came undamaged so I have no complaints with the seller. I, however have chipped the infuser on the edge. I super glued it and it works fine. I don't put it in the dishwasher so it is holding up great. Good luck!l

A number of years ago I had a similar doorbell and had a problem with that playing when it shouldn't. I was using Duracell batteries and changed to Energizer and it took care of the problem. I had also had a battery-operated clock that quit so I replaced the clock and had the same problem. I had used Duracell batteries so after I changed to Energizer I never had another problem. Needless to say, I never buy Duracell batteries since then. This may not help your problem but that is the experience I had.

I have one too and the timer doesn't work. I quite working after a couple of months. Other than that, it seems to be holding up ok. I don't have a contact number but wish my timer wouldn't have stopped working.

My brand new one doesn't seem to beep at all, and the instruction book only says that it will "flash", meaning tiny black things blink on and off, that can barely be seen. I'm very puzzled by this, as previous reviewers said that it beeped. I suppose they changed the model. I note that Amazon's product information only says it gives you "alerts". I assumed that meant audible, but it doesn't actually say so. I hope someone can shed some light on this!

That is odd. Did you let it sit for a while? I remember blinking lights for sometime before the constant green light came on.I'd contact Amazon or the manufacturer to see if you can exchange it. Personally, I love mine and even gave one to my best friend for her birthday. I use DuraCell batteries.

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.

I hadn't noticed since I've been using the timer. But I just finished this mornings brew and it does not beep. I believe Cuisinart does that.

It's not your battery. When the triggers only work for a few seconds or not at all, it is repair time and it isn't one a user can complete. I've run into this same issue and it involves electronics that you cannot access within the handles. It is quite infuriating. Sorry.

Know what I will have to look at mine. I simlpy haven't paid attention to that. Now I have a question for you. Do you know how to make it stop beeping all the time when there is nothing wrong? Perhaps the room temp is going outside of the perameters established. hahaha. I'll get back with you asap,Steph

If it chirps every 30-40 seconds, the battery may need replacement. I can't recall if there is any "expiry" date on the detector - is it exactly 1 minute? I suggest tossing in fresh batteries and maybe clean by vacuuming around the detector with a brush attachment. And see if that stops the beeping? I thankfully have not had the chirping problem until after about a year and it was because the battery was weak. Is it all of them beeping at once? I would hardly think all 4 could fail at the same time, but try the obvious approach first. Otherwise, you may have defective detectors or your wiring may be faulty.

Try the light on a fully 'charged' battery. There is a 'shut off' timer that will shut it off but it should be longer than a minute or two. Perhaps the timer is defective.

Whoa--tough one. Perhaps a vinegar rinse? The infuser I purchased was Mr. Tea, and he did not have that strong plastic aroma, which I, too, would find offputting. Yikes. Hope this helps.

I've had it apart, as I bought one for a project as well. The device itself cannot beep as it has no mechanism with which to do so. The only thing I can think of is that a key may be stuck down, and you're in a window on your PC that doesn't accept keystrokes?

My DLP was making a loud beep also. I pulled out and checked the color wheel. It was not spinning freely as it should so I replaced it. However, it didn't effect the BEEP at all. It still does the beep once in a while. Usually when it's been on for a few hours. What I do when it starts to do that BEEPING is to turn the set off for about 3-5 minutes then turn it back on. That usually corrects the issue for another few hours for me.
