If you have not talked to La Cross and if you continue to have the problem, most likely it may be a signal problem. I had a similar
problem with an earlier model and found that it only worked on
the west facing wall as the signal is coming from WWVB which is the NISTtime signal radio station near Fort Collins, Colorado. Get a fresh battery, reset the clock, put it in a west facing window and leave it overnight. If it doesn't work, contact La Cross as above post.
If you have the LaCrosse WT-8-29U, it isn't hard to set the unit manually. After the unit receives the signal from the NIST radio station and sets itself (or fails to receive the signal), turn the clock around. (If you have it on a wall, take it down first.) Press and release the Set button (left-most button). Then press the + key (the button to the right of Set) to toggle through to MST. If you press and release Set again, you can use the + key to toggle DST on and off. The manual for the WT-8029U is available here: http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/8029/manual.pdf .
This is error code for short protection--95% of the time in this model it means one of the soldered in fuses that protect the convergence circuit is blown.
Both convergence chips and the blown fuse or fuses need to be located and replaced----if you give me the full correct model number I will tell you which parts it uses.
Some people are able to do this repair themselves--depending on model number you would begin by unplugging the set and testing the fuses for the convergence circuit--if either or both are bad the chips for the convergence circuit got them--just changing the fuse will do no good--and can do more harm.
Let me know model number ---wt- and 5 numbers usually

If set comes on for a moment and then goes off(green power light)
ON THE FRONT OF THE SET PRESS BOTH menu AND input at the same time and hold both buttons in for at least 5 seconds---then release both buttons.
Watch the power light---it should blink a two digit code---ERROR CODE--- The most common is 2 blinks, a pause and 2 blinks-----set will repeat the error code about 10 times.
If you find this error code let me know the blinks and I will tell you what it means and may be able to tell you what is needed to correct it.
