when my timer gets to the tripper it won't turn on.does it matter if the red or black is first..the red is on black is off??

Yes, it does matter, red is on (first) and black is off (second). Make sure you have set your clock to the correct AM/PM time locations, I know that sounds crazy, but the timer is a little confusing. Make sure the manual on/off switch has the lights off. Turn the lights on manually, then turn them off. Turn the timer clock a complete 24 hour cycle my hand. The lights should turn on and off as the trippers pass the switch. I hope this helps, good luck. Bruce

The time wheel does not move at all! Doesn't matter if the tab is against it or not. I can hear the motor running, it just won't turn the dial. I've had pretty good experience with Intermatic timers in the past, I guess this is just a bad one. I order the exact same one as a replacement. J France

yes it needs both,,,the RED will turn it on the black turns it off,,timer,, they have a extended tip on the the ends to catch the switch to turn on RED and then to turn off Black

Had same problem and never worked properly so I plugged it into another timer which I plugged in to the outlet. Don't waste your time with red or black. I drove myself crazy with that and it's just defective.

Attach a light to the timer and make sure it is on. Than spin the dial see what happen to the light. This will tell you which colored striker does what. Make sure you have 110 volts to the timer and the 12 volt connection points are secure underneath the timer

Had similar experience & ended up sending one back and getting another which then worked. Make sure you are waiting long enough for the tripper to actually turn the switch. You might also try turning the switch manually a bunch to times to loosen it up a bit. I don't think the red/black matters but the instructions tell you which is which, on and off. If you can't get it to work you may have to send it back for a replacement - it may be that the switch is just too tight.

yes, red is for on time and black for off time. Just be sure your time is set right, am and pm, it may be going off and on during the daytime hours when you are not home. I did that once with ours, turning on a 7 am instead of 7 pm

I haven't had any problems with this cooker. It turns off when the time has counted down. If you're setting the time and it's turning off before the elapsed time, then I would say it's defective.

I agree with some of the other posts. If the red pin turns the lights on. I would pull out the black pin, make sure it is not damaged or defective. If not, Move it to the next slot and see if it works and turns the lights off. If it is defective, replace the pin. I beleive the ML88T 988 watt timer came with two red and two black pins. Replace it and you should see your lights turn on and "OFF".

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.

Hi Maxime, you may have the wires connected up wrong, I joined the two red wires together on plus, then black on minus leaving fine black, not connected see how that will work good luck Chris

I wired mine backwards first try. Worked fine until the timer triggered it off, then there was no power for the clock to continue. I just swapped the load wires, and it worked fine.

dial moves very slow.it is hard to see.Just set the current time on the arrow of the timer,and push down the black pins for the time you want to start the timer and the time you want it to go off.For timing the red light on the side should not be on.

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 little black levers (first row) around the entire time dial get pushed down for the time you want the timer to be "on". I usually set the time to the current time (turn the dial) and then push down the black "levers" starting with one or two before the current time (this allows the unit to start up once it is plugged in). It's difficult to push just one lever down at a time so push a few down and then pull back those you don't want. Hope that helps

It should come on if you have the pin pressed all the way in. If the pin is in all the way it "trips" the timer to come on and go off. If electricity goes off you will need to reset the timer to the correct time just like the clocks in your home

How does it turn off but not ON? Is that manually? Or via z-wave commands? If it is Manual issue check your installation, if timer was not installed properly (if it does not fit flush with the wall) then I would re install and make sure this time it installs flush with the wall. A Simpson of this is that it only works on one direction and the other direction seems not to work unless you push really hard on it. If it is via z-wave commands then let me know and I will update this post. Hope it helps

Are there lights hooked up and do they work when you turn the timer to the on position? If the lights don't turn on and the timer doesn't turn it's probably busted. May have taken a power surge from a nearby lightning strike.

Not sure about your color code sequence, however; you can google the coding for your electrical wiring and as for the timer, you have a reset switch built in that should be somewhere on the face of the product (read the manual that came with the product) you'll probably have to reset in order to reboot or bring the screen up. Use a voltage tester to check for reading between the wiring in the wall.

Make absolutely certain the trippers are aligned against the timer wheel. Go to Intermatic for a great troubleshooting guide.

I don't know, mine was black and red. I would wire them up with a very small amp fuse and see if it turns on or blows the fuse. If it blows the fuse, switch the wires and try again.

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.

Look carefully at the dial. The trippers are all around it. It's a weird configuration, but it does work. Read the manual carefully.
