How to program clock & timer - Microwave Ovens

To set my Russell Hobbs Microwave clock, I found....press and hold timer/clock button, untill it comes up with 24 hr, ( am guessing press it again to set to 12 hr, but wasn't chancing it lol) use numbers to set time, then press timer/clock button again! Hope that helps someone!

I'll bet it is in the manual

To set the clock, press
"Clock"
once
or
"Timer/Clock"
twice
(depending
on your keypad)
.
The colon symbol (:) will flash.
Enter time of day.
The time appears
in the window; the colon continues
to flash.
Press
"Clock"
or
"Timer/Clock"
again - colon stops flashing; time of
day is set !

Touch Timer/Clock pad and number 2 pad.
Enter the correct time of day by touching the numbers in sequence.
Touch Timer/Clock pad again.

1. Open door
2. Press clock/Kitchen Timer button the display will show "0:00" with the hour"0" flashing.
3. Enter the correct hour by turning the potary dial. Enter 1-12
4. Press clock/Kitchen Timer button the display will show "0:00" with the minutes "00" flashing.
5. Enter the correct minutes by turning the potary dial. Enter 00-59
6. Press clock/Kitchen Timer. The colon will remain flashing.
7. Close the door.

try resetting the clock. If it is digital, push the clock button and then the number buttons untill you have the proper time displayed...then push the clock button again. If your clock and timer are manual, try pushing in the clock lever and turning it 1/4 turn. If this works it would indicate that your timer has a start and finish time and that the oven is not working because the clock has rotated around to the finish time.

Your membrane keypad is shorted.

Whether it's available as a separate part, assembly, or if you have to order a whole controller is determined by the model number, which you did not mention.

Operating functions:
To set the clock, press and hold the clock/timer button for three seconds. A clock icon will appear on the left side of the screen. Input the time using the numerical buttons and then click the clock/timer button to save the time.
To set the timer, press and release the clock/timer button so that the display shows all zeroes. Enter the desired time using the keypad. Press start/stop to start the countdown. The countdown may be paused by pressing the stop/start button and resumed by pressing the same button again.
When countdown is complete, timer will beep continuously for thirty seconds and display will flash. Timer will then beep every ten seconds for ten minutes until the stop/start button is pressed.
This timer will also time up to time activities. To start count up, press clear/memory so timer reads all zeroes. Press stop/start and a plus sign will appear on the right side of the screen as the timer begins counting up.

This is the generic instructions to set the clock. I have visited the sanyo site to aquire a owners manual with no success in locating one. This being said, here are the instructions.

1. Unplug the unit for a minute then plug unit in.
2. Press the clock (clock/timer) button once.
3. Using the keypad, input the time you wish to set.
4. Press the clock (clock/timer) button once.
5. Press the stop/clear button, Time should remain.

Hope this works, if not, let me know.

Please take the time to give this solution a fix ya rating.

On most microwaves, to program the clock you press the button marked, "Clock," or "Timer/Clock," or something similar. You then enter the time on the keypad by pressing just the numbers for the current time, then press the clock button again.
