Click the SET button

press Rev or Fwd to set time
Even with the instruction, it is still a pain to set the clock. :(

Press the SET button until you cycle through the alarms and the Colons on the time start to flash. use the right and left arrows from the CD buttons to adjust time; After time is set; press the SET button. Be careful to not fat finger and hit the CD button when pressing the SET buttons. That will turn on the AWFUL NAP timer. That's another headache.

. Stop the Nap alarm Press NAP to start NAP flashing. Press and hold NAP to cancel the nap setting. If this does not work; try again. It seems to take me a time or 2 to get it to work.

This info is in the pdf manual (pg 5) posted on the FixYa page for this problem (about middle of the page). I can't paste in the graphic but this is what the page says:

Setting time: (graphic is of the top of the radio with the buttons)
1. Press the SET button, the “ : ” will flash on the display .
2. Press REV (L arrow) or FWD (R arrow) to set the time.
3. AM or PM icon will show beside the time.

Tip: No icon will be flashing if all selectors are set. If you see any icon flashing on the display, press the SET button repeatedly to confirm everything is set correctly.

Unplug all power (battery too) and wait a few minutes. Plug in power and 12:00 will start to flash. Press "set" and then release it. Now press any of the two buttons to the right of "set". One will increase time the other will decrease time. Hold the button down and time changes faster. Do not press any button when you have obtained the correct time for at least a minute or so.

These clocks uses the same family of IC's. There should be a button labeled 'time' or 'time set'. Push and hold this button, then press a button labeled 'H' or Hour, you should see the hour advance. In some models, if you press the button long enough, the advance rate will become faster. Press the button labeled 'M' or minutes and the same procedure applies. After that release the 'Time' button

I had the same issue. The fix for me was taking it apart and spraying the circuit board down with contact cleaner. My guess is that I ran a humidifier in the room and the humidity caused resistance on a resistor changing by the value.

My GE Clock is from the Mid 1970s and still going strong. Here is the fix, which coincidentally mentions the Fixya Website. He didn't want to register to post a question with the answer.

Fixing a clock radio saying "1P:G8" or "IP:G8"? - anthrofox.org

anthrofox.org http://www.anthrofox.org > projects > ge_7_4612b GE clock radios frequently used the Texas Instruments TMS3450NL chip to operate the clock. The "1P:G8" or "IP:G8" error code is NOT documented in the datasheet ... ..

you can follow these steps:

1. Open the cassette deck: Carefully open the cassette deck by removing any screws or clips that secure the outer casing. Be cautious not to damage any internal components or delicate parts.
2. Observe the existing belt placement: Before removing any belts, take note of their positions and how they are routed around various pulleys, flywheels, or other components. This will serve as a reference for installing the new belts correctly.
3. Remove and replace the belts: Gently remove the old belts, keeping track of their lengths and shapes. Measure the size and shape of the old belts or refer to any documentation that may have come with the deck to determine the appropriate replacement belts. Install the new belts one at a time, following the observed routing from step 2.
4. Ensure proper tension: Ensure that the newly installed belts have the appropriate tension. They should be tight enough to drive the various mechanisms but not overly tight or loose. Adjust the tension if necessary.
5. Test and adjust: After replacing the belts, reassemble the cassette deck and test its functionality. Verify that the belts drive the cassette mechanism smoothly and consistently. Make any necessary adjustments to belt tension or routing if the mechanisms do not operate correctly.

If you encounter any difficulties or are unsure about the belt routing or replacement process, it is advisable to consult a professional technician or reach out to a specialized audio repair service. They will have the expertise and knowledge to handle the specific requirements of your General Electric 3-5672A cassette deck and ensure proper belt routing.

If you are experiencing issues with your GE Color Television AM/FM Radio Spacemaker where you are not getting any radio signal, it could be caused by a few different issues. Here are a few things you can check:

1. Check the antenna connections: Make sure that the antenna connections are tight and that there are no loose or damaged wires.
2. Check the antenna: Make sure that the antenna is properly positioned and that it is not damaged.
3. Check the tuner: Make sure that the tuner is functioning properly and that it is not damaged.
4. Check the audio settings: Make sure that the audio settings are correctly configured.
5. Check the audio output: Make sure that the audio output is not muted or turned down.
6. Check the power supply: Make sure that the power supply is providing the correct voltage and that it is not damaged.
7. Check the signal: Make sure that the signal strength is strong enough to receive radio signal.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, I would recommend contacting GE's customer support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or may recommend a qualified technician to repair the unit.
