My clock on the coffee pot goes nuts and does not keep time. Anybody else have this problem?

I've had no problem with the clock, but several times when brewing coffee it has failed to go into the pot. It seems to get stopped by something. The last time this happened, I tried to pull out the basket it, came out with a jerk, coffee flew everywhere including my hand. This is a very inferior and dangerous product.

We've only had ours for a little more than a month, but so far the clock is perfect.

Ours is in our camper, so the use is intermittent, but so far we have not had any problems with the clock or anything else. We really like this coffee maker.

I think it's a great coffee pot. Keeps the coffee hot for HOURS--MUCH better, in that regard, than the Mr. Coffee one we now have. The Cuisinart's 12-cup capacity is also great. The problem is, we had bought two of them, and they both decided to quit on us with no warning. The second one quit about a month after we bought it. I didn't bother trying to send it back because I was too disgusted and didn't want a replacement. For all I know, the Mr. Coffee will do the same. The electronics are screwed up on the Cuisinart; even before it stopped working both times, the clock and timed-brewing features froze, and we had to plug it in and unplug it to get it to work. I wouldn't buy it. I think it's a great coffee pot. Keeps the coffee hot for HOURS--MUCH better, in that regard, than the Mr. Coffee one we now have. The Cuisinart's 12-cup capacity is also great.

No the coffee pot turns off after a perset time. There is n o way to preset the timer.I haven't tried it but you might be able to leave t on and plug it into a timed outlet and it would turn on.I haven't tried it. E Baker

No, the clock time will not change as long as you don't unplug the coffee maker. The instructions stated to unplug after every use. I questioned this note and called Hamilton Beach. Their response was to unplug the unit when not in use for a long period of time.

Mine does the same thing. I have to keep turning it off and on to get the rest brewed. Have you figured it out yet? It's driving me crazy!

I have the exact same problem as you describe. It is really annoying. You also have to set the time every time you reinsert the batteries.

had the same issue ..there is little red button you must put a pin into to rest before it will allow you to set times up. I might also add in the instructions it mentions events, consider both those for off and on when setting the times.

sorry, it's been a while since I set the clock, but I do remember that I had to set the analog clock manually (i.e. set it digitally and have the hands then move automatically to match the digitally set time)...You could also try their customer support, however, at the time I was doing my setting-up, they were surprisingly unknowledgeable about this specific model, as it was new.

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.

I don't seem to have that problem. My unit registers the correct date and time. Try resetting the phone by taking out the battery.

The only solution to this problem that I can think of is that you may have another setting on at the same time. For example, if you've set the auto brew to brew at a specific time in the future, and you've pushed that button, telling it to brew at that future time, it won't brew if you press the brew button. You must cancel the other command for it to obey the brew command. Hope this helps. I really like this coffee maker. I've had it for about a year now and I haven't had any problems.

I rarely use the clock so I am afraid I can't help. However, in my experience, B&D; has an outstanding customer service, so you might want to get in touch with them. I agree the clock is hard to read but that's a design issue that has to be addressed with the next line of products. Another thing you could try is to use a stand-along timer that you can plug the coffee maker into. I have used this with other appliances and it works well. Good luck.

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!

Yep, mine loses time, too. So, I contacted the company and they sent me a new circuit board and control panel. However, the installation seemed so involved that I haven't done it yet. I'm thinking about putting a nice magnet over it. Because, you know, aside from the clock issue, it seems to be a great range hood!

If it does accept the time of day you set, it should not change unless your batteries are very weak. Otherwise, contact the manufacturer, may be defective. I've had mine running continually for 6 months with absolutely no problems so far.

Nope, you just need to hold down the "clock" button for a few seconds. Hope that helps

Send it back. We couldn't get ours to keep the correct time and the company kept telling me that it would adjust itself. It never did.
