How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: There are no internal hazards for this issue; do not open the unit for clock problems.
Reset the Clock:
- Press and hold the HOUR button until the hour digits advance to the correct time.
- Press and hold the MINUTE button to set the minutes.
- Ensure AM/PM is correct if displayed.
Reprogram Auto-Brew:
- Press PROGRAM or SET AUTO and set the desired brew time using the HOUR and MINUTE buttons.
- Press PROGRAM again or AUTO to confirm and enable the auto-brew indicator.
If the clock will not hold time even when continuously plugged in, the control board’s clock circuit is failing, and the board may need replacement.
