The timer stayed on too long how to set the timer

If its a refrigerator, there is no defrost. If its a freezer, there is a defrost termination bi metal button attached to the coil with a fixed value that will kick it back into the freeze cycle to keep it from turning into an oven in case the defrost timer fails. There is no easy way to defeat it. Sorry.

Panasonic Projection TV Lamp Timer Reset
Your lamp will probably last a lot longer than the TV thinks it should. This procedure will reset the lamp timer so you don't have to look at that annoying message every time you turn your tv on. Remember that the "lamp" indicator light on the lower left of the set will stay on until the lamp is actually replaced. I had to buy a replacement lamp to get this information, could not find it anywhere for these model numbers.
Press the volume down button on the projection display and hold down the zero button on the remote control at the same time for more than 5 seconds. When the reset procedure is complete, a message will display that the lamp timer was reset to zero.
This procedure will work for Panasonic models: PT-52LCX66 , PT-56LCX66 , PT-61LCX66 , PT-52LCX16 , PT-56LCX16 , PT-61LCX16

What is the model number of the unit?

For digital timer:
1) Timer is defective
2) Conflicting programming so timer does not perform as expected
3) Timer not set to correct mode.
4) Program 'off' is set correctly, but program 'on' is not set or 'on' time conflicts with other programming.
5) Current time not set correctly
6) Polarity on outlet is reversed or noise on the line. Check outlet with circuit analyzer.
7) Combination of factors listed above

I see nothing in the manual that says 'outdoor use only' EXCEPT timer runs on photoelectric eye.
Timer turns ON automatically at dusk, so if timer is inside, and indoor lights are ON, then timer stays OFF.

More then likely your Electric timer is hanging up do to a heater issue. Either a wire from the heater is bitten by a mouse or you have a bad. Heater element

My range doesn’t allow me to set the time, when I enter the current time it flashes and then defaults to 2:22.

turn off the timer

Sounds like issues with the mcroprocessor on the main timer board. Contact https://encompass.com/ to see if it is available
