I find it impossible to turn the dial. I cannot get it to line up for the "fine" setting. Then the screw in the handle fell out. Is mine defective?

I got the OXO as a Christmas gift for my daughter in law. I asked her how it worked and she said she used it all the time and has no problems with it. Also it was not the adjustable one. Didn't know they made that model.

I did not get the adjustable ricer.... the regular one works great, you may want to exchange it.

I think you can loosen the screw that holds the knob and adjust it. I had the same issue. Kind of a goofy design.

Sounds like it may be defective. When I tightened the screw when it needed to be, it didn't spin and just tightened properly. I suggest sending the one you have back and getting another one.

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.

Did you try turning it up on the dial? I don't know, mine gets really really hot on like 5. Maybe yours is broken?

I had the opposite problem. Couldn't get it to come on. Just bought the cheaper mechanical timers. No problems at all with them.

Is the knob slipping or clicking when you try to turn it? If so, you're simply turning it the wrong direction. It shouldn't be over tightened due to its design.

Have you installed the OFF/ON dogs on the clock? Also check to be sure the clock dial is seated completely on the clock shaft. Check the clock dial to be sure it is turning. If all of the above appears to be satisfactory, contact Amazon for a replacement...

I had the same problem. What I found was it has to be perfectly straight in line and go slow. If I went to fast I had to use another drill to drive the screws all the way in. Also the drill bit does not always stay locked into place on mine.

It may be set too sensitive. There are adjustment dials to adjust the sensitivity. The instructions explain how to adjust it.

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.

You just twist the dial so it's not on the "0" position. They may have sent you a bad battery ?

I know I'm responding to this later than the others, but don't loosen the screws! You have to lift the handle first; I know, it's really tough, I had to get my dad to help me, but that really is the solution. Once the handle is lifted, you can turn to knob to adjust the pressure.

This is part of the issue I have had from the beginning. Try turning the knob situated above the handle. It locks the unit in place if you have it seated properly. I hope that helps...

After doing the correct combo the black handle goes to the left...to lock put back in upright position and turn the dial. I do not have a key with mine

Yes, I experienced this. The primary issue I had was the metal plate was unbalanced and rubbed against the stainless at the opening. I tried unsuccessfully to rebalance and was never able to get it to work properly.

I can only imagine that the circular time dial is not securely connected to the timer shaft. There is a philips head screw that attaches the dial to the shaft. My guess is that the clock shaft is turning and that since the dial is not 'connected' to the shaft, that it is not advancing in time...so take off the dial, examine how it connects/interlocks to the shaft and then re-install it.
