The timer does not work all the time. I have to pull/push the yellow dial in and out to try and get it to keep time. How can I fix it?

Pedro, I have 3 in the house, one for each water heater. We removed the small timer stops (actually never installed them) in order to control on and off (lever swith on the right side next to the yellow dial) manually...using these timers has save a lot of money on our electrical bill. I have never pushed or pulled the yellow dial--again my application is to use the unit as a basic on off device It is a certified electrical box and thus is better than using a toggle switch.

The motor that drives the timers clock needs power all the time. If the power is interrupted for a period of time the clock will stop and timer will be off the same amount of time the power was off. Check to see if the power that feeds the timer is on a switch that maybe turns on a light someplace in the house you maybe turning off and on the power that feeds the timers clock. Good Luck

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

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.

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.

I found I needed to sync it. The watch resets at midnight. If there is a different way to program it I couldn't find one. I do shift work so I wanted a different reset time but couldn't change it. I hope this helps.

Great query I shall try to help you though I no longer own this unit due to the fact that it had some broken parts that only got worse until it stopped working? I believe you need to hold the upper button down until it progressively blinks and/or beeps/vibrates one level at a time. Alternately, it maybe the lower button?Either way you'll need to experiment by testing the timing option much the same as short and/or long pressing buttons on say a tablet computer.

This happened to me also. I noticed that the little tabs that determine when the timer goes on were bumped and not fully in or out. I set them correctly, either in or all the way out, and it's been working correctly since. I hope this helps you.

I thought it would be great but I had the same problem that you are having. I set the clock and it would show right time but would not do timer recording at right. The first time I thought it was my mistake but made sure the next time and it still lost it's setting. Finally give up as far as I am concerned it is a pice of junk.

Well, sorry returned mine. My old timer started working all of sudden. But If memory serves me I believe it does. Good luck.

Wish I had an answer. I've noticed that about mine as well. I set the duration for 10 seconds, and it only dumps for 5 on the timer.

Once the mechanical on-off switch pointers on the dial are installed the time needs to be set on the dial and the spring holding the dial needs to be fully pushed back in.Make sure electric power is to the timer motor.

Oh my word. Thank you for the question. YES. I tried it as you said... I was wondering why my timers would all start over. I'v purchased a lot of them, so I won't forget things.. Yes... I put in 3 seconds, it went off; so I pushed stop. Then, I just pushed start again, and it counted down the 3 seconds. I did it about 4 times... 'cool' and thanks again for the question.

Make sure you have a 120 volt supply line not 240 volt. If you have the correct voltage then make sure the timer disc is properly seated which I suspect you have done, then it is probably a faulty timer.

Press and hold the Clock button until it flashes. Enter the time, then press the Clock button again. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Hi Bo, I have used one of these WH21 for the last 25 years. This version of timer is only for controlling on and off in a 24 hour period. It will not help you with the issue that you described. Thanks,Ed

It does not show the time display all the time. You have to push the button a few times to rotate to the clock display.

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
