Is there a way to turn the timer off? I pulled out the plastic stopper & the timer has been on for 3 days. I'm worried about running it down.

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.

If you are worried that you will have to replace batteries all the time, I have had mine quite a while and it's still working great. It doesn't have an " on/off " switch but the numbers shouldn't be changing unless one of the timers are set. I clear all four of my timers to zero when I'm not using the device. I hope this answer helps.

Pressing the start/stop button stops the timer from running, but the numbers still appear. Other than popping out the battery, I don't know how to turn that part off. I leave mine on, to that extent, and haven't yet had to replace the battery - it doesn't seem to go through them very fast.

to the best of my knowledge there was no timer option. I would say I am about 75% sure on this. I would check, but I do not have the unit near by.

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.

Checked my timer. Probably 45 minutes is the shortest time. There is one tab that turns the timer on and another to turn it off. Looks like the two won't fit closer than 45 minutes apart.

I don't think so. Mine continues to produce steam until the timer goes off. Sounds like a malfunction. I guess maybe make sure it's got enough water (seems obvious, I know). Other than that I'd call the company!

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.

Like others have mentioned, the sound machine stays on all night. That's what we do, we leave it on the entire night. I have never had a use for the timer. The button for the timer is directly below the power button. I've hit it accidentally once and found I had no sound in the middle of the night. But that's not a regular ongoing issue.

Hi, we have not had any issues with our timer. Best of luck getting it working correctly.

Yes. You can override the timer and turn it off. I have four of these in my house, and you can turn it back off if you change your mind. I wouldn't make it a habit, however.

There is an off button at the bottom. You press and hold one of the buttons, the top one I think, to override the timer and keep it constantly on.

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

I have never seen a timer that can be set for more than 6 or 7 hours. Sorry.

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.

The timer is not designed to function this way. You must turn it off each time it counts down.

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

This does not turn of with a timer, you have to be there. The way cheese melts and other things happen I don't see how a timer could ever be accurate enough. I don't find the lack of a timer a problem for the price.

The timer does not turn off as far as I know. Waited a couple minutes but had to shut it off its so loud
