Timer (Shabbos Clock) Troubleshooting
« on: June 25, 2016, 11:57:14 PM »
I have a Honeywell timer (this one, or similar: https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-RPLS730B1000-7-Day-Programmable-Switch/dp/B004SOZHXY). The past few weeks, it has been turning the lights off Shabbos at 12 PM, despite my checking before Shabbos multiple times that it was set correctly, to stay on the entire day. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Are there other setting except for the shabbos ones? Try resetting it.

IIRC they have 8 settings of on and off, are they all set for shabbos or are some for during the week?

Most of them are not set at all. Only a few for Erev Shabbos & Shabbos. I checked so many times... But I will try resetting as you suggested. The problem is that I won't know if it's good until next Shabbos... ::)

Try changing the day of the week to Monday and see tomorrow what happens.

Do you have the manual?(asking, simply to make sure you know how to use it correctly, or just go on to honeywell.com and they have a manual to print and explains it really clear. )

 They have may similar types so knowing your exact model would help you solve that small error in your clock.. here you can see a bunch of models all very similar.
