I replaced one in my house, wiring the new one exactly as the old one, but now the clock runs backwards. How do I get it to run the right way?

My westclock has a small greenish light about the size of a dime behind the nine. Unless it is right next to me, I can not see what time it is. I had to move it next to the bed.

I don't find any problem with mine, you just need to thumb-press that metal release and rotate the adapter in counter-clock wise direction... If you still have problem, please specify how you are getting stuck!!

Best thing you can do is send this clock back. They are all pieces of crap. It isnanshame too because I really liked it. I had no trouble getting mine to set. But unfortunately when I did.....the numbers kept fading in and out. There is a little map on the screen. Just toggle one of the buttons on top till you find the one that darkens the area of the map in which you live. The clock should set itself thereafter as far as the time goes. Hope you have better luck with your than I did mine.

I really setting the clock at the correct time could not keep accurate time. The divice do not has a place to regulate. It is a fail of factory.

You should be able to twist the top part counter clock wise. It should then pop up so you can pump it. If that doesn't work, call the company.

If it is turning then the installation is fine, the clock is probably defective. It may get stuck at the point of the switch and cannot go forward.

I found a solution that seems to fix the erratic clock. Turn the Auto setting to "off". Then turn Daylight Savings to "off".

Mine just started to have issues...I set it to correct time but within the next minute it resets to where it was?

Ha Ha...that's the way it's SUPPOSED to be, but I found that the set I ordered worked just the opposite way. You can put one of them in place and see if it will trip on or off; I think you'll find that the red turns on and the green turns off. Also, they're visually a tad different, so once you figure out which is which, you'll be able to just "eyeball" them to distinguish them. Apparently, this mistake arises because different timers are engineered differently. This was a minor "head scratcher", at first. But with a little old-fashioned observation, investigation, and experimentation, it solves easily enough. Good luck!

That's why we returned ours. We couldn't figure out how to set the clock. Directions are worse than IKEA's.

try taking it apart, the two big screws in the front, and move the wire so it comes out the other side (The Philips is designed to do this)...it sounds like its running backwards...let me know if this works...k

I believe there is a CR2032 battery in the unit that keeps time. Try replacing that.

I've had the same experience. I think it has something to do with the batteries only being for the clock display; not to run the unit so you need to keep the radio plugged in when you play it, and when you "power" it off, the batteries keep the clock on. IDK it's a real lame feature and I sent the company a harsh review of the product basically saying it was a very poorly designed product. You probably saw my review about it but I wasn't happy.

It sounds like battery. I would try different batteries and make sure it's in properly. Mine came backwards.

Clock on my dad's unit doesn't have any problem. I'd make sure to review the initial instructions given with it. Also, make sure your batteries are turned up or down according to the manual and try a different set of batteries just to make sure it isn't the batteries. If all that doesn't work, and the unit is still under warranty, call the company and ask for a replacement. Good luck!
