every time the power goes out, i have to reset the clock on my microwave, is there a way to stop that?

— asked by Sam

Quick answer: The microwave lacks a backup battery for the clock circuit. Power interruptions reset the clock to default settings.

Diagnosis

The microwave lacks a backup battery for the clock circuit. Power interruptions reset the clock to default settings.

How to Fix It

There is no fix to retain clock settings during power loss. This is a design limitation. Use the clock set function after power restoration. Press "Clock" button, enter time, then "Start" to set.

If That Didn't Work

Ensure the microwave is plugged into a stable power source. Consider using a UPS for critical applications, but this is not typical for microwaves.

Heads Up

The clock reset does not affect cooking functions. The microwave will operate normally once power is restored.
