Is there a way to disable or extend the auto-shutoff? It shuts off while I'm in the process of adding to it, which loses the weight.

Hi ChadI have tried myself but no there no way to setup the shutoff. My husband came off some meds it did work alright we just keep trying to fit the best weight to it.

I don't think so, but you can trick it by "tapping" it lightly with your finger if you are taking too long. Every time the weight changes a little the shut-off timer resets. Doing this only changes the weight momentarily, as the number should go back to what is was before the tap (if it is working properly).

No, there is no way to disable the auto shut off feature. It shuts off after a minute.

As far as i know there is no way to change the setting. I've never had that problem. Wonder if something is wrong with yours?

I encountered the same problem, it shuts down itself after being turn on for awhile. This is due to malfunction and bad design of the product. I returned mine to amazon once I found out the issue.

Yes connie is right it has auto shut off i havent timed it but im sure its less than 3 because it seems like when i am using it im always in a hurry. Would be nice if there was auto shutoff. Control to be able to adjust the legnth of automatic off timer.

I'm curious about this too. I set mine for 370 and as soon as it reaches the temperature it turns off. SO frustrating.

No, i never try. I always have a load on it, and if I turn things off it goes to a standby or power save mode automatically.My inverter have been running for more then 2 years now. With no problems so for.

It should turn off. Mine displays the weight for a few seconds and then turns off. You may have a defective product. Sorry! I would get in touch with the seller,depending on when you purchased theItem.

Mine did not have an auto shut off. Also i had issue with the built in tempurature control several times i would find it go up over 130c which would kill off the bacteria if left that way for too long.

There is an option to set the machine to shut off after a certain amount of time. You must manually activate it every time you turn the device on. It's like the sleep function on your TV.

I have the same problem. The only way to get around this that I know of, is to first step on the scale, wait for the reading. Then step off and wait for It to reset, or It says ready. Then step on again and It should be correct. For some reason It is off by 4 or 5 pounds, the first time you use It after auto shutoff. I wonder If the manufacturer knows this ?

I am having the same problem. I don't know what it is or how to stop it. I thought maybe I didn't let it run long enough after I installed it, but with continued use, it's still happening.

I just received an e-mail asking me if I could respond to your concern. But now I see that you've contacted customer service and the are sending you a new speed sensor (which was my guess). The auto-shutdown after five minutes was the clue. If left on and unattended it shuts itself off to save power.

I never let it run to that point. Always monitored it as it is not one with auto shut off. replaced an older one that worked well for many years, but was cautioned to not let it run dry as it would burn out. So I continue the same process.

My experience is, once there is activity with the scale, it does not turn off. If you leave it dormant, even with a weight on, it will shutoff after a while.

@ Barbara: How do you adjust the menu to shut off after one hour? Thank you.

I don't know! I think it goes off automatically after sitting for a while, but I don't know of a button to do it.

No. That is one thing I like about it. You do not turn around in the middle of a project and find your iron cool. If you want an automatic shut off that is long, these things exist. Nancy's Notions ?

I don't believe the shutting off is caused by the microswitch. This problem is the control panel.
