I have 2 Vigoro 196-036 watering timers. Why does water come out of the three holes near the battery compartment on one of them?

We have 3 of them in use and water flows from the holes in the backs of two of them (similar the the described condition above). Greginbend1's reply doesn't answer the question as I'm stumped by this condition and remain stumped. My only thought is to buy new timers. I read one post somewhere about a possible internal plastic component cracked from freezing..../shrug We have 3 of them in use and water flows from the holes in the backs of two of them (similar the the described condition above).

I have the same issue. I bought two Vigoro timers (model 196-036), both were on the same faucet with a splitter all summer watering new grass seed. I removed them both at the same time. This season, one works, one pours water from the three slots on the back. Itchybuzz or c_greenberg, if you see this again, please post what you finally did. I have a feeling I know what you did, just want to verify before I toss the bad one.... I have the same issue.
