I ordered this unit, it was a piece of junk, sorry that you got one also. Perhaps donate it to Goodwill. I hate to say this but I found a very good timer at ACURITE.COM, it has magnetic base and works well.

I purchased two of them and did not have any problems with them. I would check the battery or return it.

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!

Make sure the timer is hooked up 120V ON ONE LEG AND THE GROUND/NEUTRAL ON THE OTHER you should be able to hear and feel the timer (clock) running if it's not you may have a bad timer.

There are two sensors inside to the left and right (little round black things), slap some black polish on it. You can now manually control the time. Your Welcome :) Make sure it's unplugged when you do this.

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.

Hi! Only replace your timer with the same model/serial number that you actually have. I'm not a pro, I don't know which other could work as the one you own,but you must keep the same model! and yeah... you could vary the serial, it will work, but with some deficiencies! Better safe than sorry, match model/serial for accurate replacement. Good luck!

The first of these timers I acquired was from Home Depot and it was a piece of junk, i.e., it would not keep a program, turn off when programmed , etc. It was returned to the store for a refund. The 2nd I acquired from True Value and I've had zero problems.

You must make sure that you connect the red and black wires as stated in the instructions correctly. I have gotten them backwards before and the timer worked like yours is working. Try changing the connections

First thing I'd check receptacle for power.Plug in a tester or lamp. If that doesn't work try "reset" button,which should clear all,then input station times,clock etc.

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

Me too. Still haven't got it set up correctly. Power to the digital array is working but the switch and timer do not. Sorry

My unit is working at beginning Amazon ships unit without pin on/off timer you must buy separate. Connected black wireon left white/white wire on rright then set time then set timer on/off should work good luck

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.

I have not put a timer on mine , but after your question, I tried programming in different cplot,and modes,then cut the power with a wall switch, and it has come back on in the same mode.

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.

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!

Mine stopped working and then randomly started working 30 minutes later. So I'd either wait and see if that works, or return it for a new one.
