Manual or Auto does not shutoff the load. Only the on / off switch works. Anyone have this problem?

I have not had any problems. Is this timer new, or has it been working ok until now? If new, I would double check wiring, and if ok, would assume its defective.

My guess is your on and off switch is broken. I would recommend buying a switch at the auto store that can shut it off and on and make sure it has a pattern selector as well.

I had the same issue with a different model. I forced it open slightly manually once and it was ok. I know it sounds crude. But it worked in the past.

Make sure it is plugged in, using the menu set it to suto, I set mine to turn off automatically 5 minutrs after the car turns off. And as someone else pointed out, take I yr out of the car in really hot weather.

I think I solved it. Once you clean it as the manual says you need to reset the system. With it plugged in but NOT turned on, put a paperclip or something in the reset button and press the (I think) Timer button. Should work then. The reset procedure I just described is in the manual right after the cleaning instructions.Thats funny V. Montez, I did the same thing - put it away for a cpl months and finally decided to tackle that damn blinking red light. Its all working well now!

What I would try is an AC Power Cycle first. 1. Shut off the unit with power switch 2. Unplug the unit 3. Turn unit back on (yes with no power) 4. Hold reset button down for 30 seconds or so to completely drain all power 5. Turn off power 6. Plug unit back in and try to turn unit on and see if that resets it. Many times with any electronics an AC Power Cycle like this can resolve many issues.I do agree they should have a downloadable copy of the manual though.

Had the same issue. System was rarely powered off by the front panel power button. After a couple of years, tried to power off and got the "FAIL: Relay Weld" error. Tried the 6" drop onto a hard surface to unstick the relay. It worked! At least, so far.

does your unit have a auto shutoff valve on it? if so I will check those connections or you may have a bad valve

Hi, I just checked it as because I never switched it off by hand until now. The gauge comes with auto-power-off after ~5min it switches off automatically.

I will double check but I believe in the manual, there is a manual turn on mode. Let me check tonight.

Try leaving your machine unplugged until you are about to use it. Then plug it in and turn it on. This means that you cannot use the auto on feature, but the fix worked for both my machines, which had the same issue as yours after about a year.

Return it for a new unit. Mine started to only do MANUAL mode, and I called T-Fal and they confirmed they've been getting calls about this. I had just got mine, so I returned it for another one.. so far, everything is working fine again. I suggest buying from Bed Bath and Beyond since they will allow you to return past 60 days if you keep your receipt. Hope this helps!

Mine turns off automatically after a couple of minutes. Must be something wrong w/ yours. I would return for another one.

First suggestion call the number for service and support. Sounds like it's a carb thing and there are 3 set screws that might need adjustment. Make sure "kill switch" is disengauging.

I encountered the same problem, it shuts down itself after being turn on for awhile. This is due to malfunction and bad design of the product. I returned mine to amazon once I found out the issue.
