Microwave clock set to the right time - no more flashing 00:00. Also cookers, ovens, washing machines, anything with a clock that's annoying you.
That Flashing Clock You've Lived With for Months
Microwave says 00:00 and flashes at you. Power cut six months ago and you've no idea how to set the clock. Manual's long gone. Every button combination you try does nothing.
💡 Pro tip: Take a photo of the clock-setting sequence from the manual and keep it on your phone. Next power cut, you've got instant instructions.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Just installed new appliance?** This is usually part of installation service. If your fitter didn't set the clock, that's poor service. Should be set up and ready to use. **Multiple appliances?** Common situation - replaced kitchen appliances and none of the clocks are set. Do them all in one go, much quicker. **Smart appliances?** Some modern ones connect to WiFi and set the clock automatically. I can help with that setup too if you want.
Frequently Asked Questions about Microwave clock setting in Dawlish
Is this really a service people use?
Absolutely! Especially elderly people who got a new appliance and can't work out the button sequence, or after a power cut and they can't remember how to reset it. Also part of appliance installation - fit the microwave and set the clock properly.
Can you set other appliance clocks too?
Yes - cookers, ovens, washing machines, anything with a clock. The principles are the same, just different button combinations. If you've got instructions I'll follow them, if not I can usually work it out.
What if the clock keeps resetting after power cuts?
Some appliances have battery backup, others don't. If yours doesn't, you'll need to reset it after every power cut. I can show you the quick way to do it, or write down the button sequence so you can do it yourself.
Why is it so complicated to set a clock?
Because appliance designers hate us all! Seriously though - they try to minimize buttons so everything's multi-function. Press and hold this, then press that, then use the dial. I've done loads, know all the common ones.
Can you show me how to do it myself?
Of course - that's part of the service. I'll set it, then reset it while you watch, then you do it while I check. By the end you'll know the sequence. I can also write it down and stick it inside your cupboard door.
