Timer doesn't go to automatic mode even though it's been programmed how do I correct this

Make sure it say auto on the screen. You get it to do that by holding the front plate down. Until it moves from "man" to "auto"

Close the panel door and hold it down for 4 or 5 seconds. The LCD will go from MAN to AUTO. :)

You must program an "ON" time and an "OFF" time for it to work. I noticed that with a blank "OFF" time the unit fails to turn the switch on at the "ON" time.

I know there is a switch, and I believe if you hold in the face/Button for a few seconds, that may solve your problem and get "automatic" mode activated.

I'm not an expert with this, but I find that timer settings are important. What I mean is that if a cycle was stopped and not reset that could have an effect. Everything has to be in place within the appliance for it to work properly. It's following the instructions and if that doesn't work, call the company. Good luck. I'm enjoying mine.

You have to press the little switch. I don't think it will work with a timer.

you connect the 2 timer in series or parallel? (if series the timer front and back in the circuit may cause the on off problem)You are saying the timer can not switch to auto and the manual function also not working? Had you check your supply at the timer terminal is it connected correctly?The timer activation time "on" and "off" is set correctly?Do you set it to be turn on and off on specify day or everyday (need set and select day/days)

Sounds like you are using it in the Manual mode. It should be able to toggle the cursor to the "Auto" mode (shows in LCD) in which case the timer function takes over. The On/Off is to manually control it on demand. I don't own this so I don't know if the Man/Auto is controlled by Mode button? But I have other timers and it sounds like this is what you need to do.

timer function is independent of the on function. So it will run continuously if you just turn it on.

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

Not sure is your case, but in my case, the light switch was too close to a shelf and therefore the timer's plate didn't fit. I just put it upside down and works perfectly. Of course, the program on/off changes.

just put batteries in it and it should turn on automatic. if not I would return it.

i don't know...i only programmed it for a consistent time of rest not changing the rest time

I gently push timer button (that's the one on the bottom left that looks like a clock) to activate timer function. Timer blinks after it is activated.

Invest in a new one. That seems to be an issue with this timer. It's a great timer though and worth the investment.

I have programmed it, which is easy to do but have not used it yet. It has a lot of nice features, which a lot of the inexpensive timers don't have, and if it holds up should work well. Sorry I can't be of any further help.

I think it's supposed to have an automatic shut off. Maybe yours is not working proper? Send it back.

It sounds like your item is defective. The timer should always be running and advancing. Hope this helps.

along with your power wire to the timer, the one on the very left. Attach a jumper wire there & run it over to the next to last pin on the right. hook the rest up like the instructions say. It doesn't tell you to do it this way but it will fix your problem !

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.
