Touching start doesn't cook my food. Pressing cook doesn't cook my food either. Is mine broken or did I have to program it?

Touching start should cook it. Just put in the time first, then touch start. Did you set the clock first. If so, and it will not cook, return it.

There is a plastic shield covering it. I noticed a few days later. Did you take your plastic off of it. Because I have no problem now with my microwave.

You might have to program the clock, but after that it should work... It might be broken

The start button works perfectly on my machine, haven't used many of the processing buttons, but try the reset button, and see if that works. Possibly this is a damaged product.

Nope. I just took it out and pressed a bunch of buttons and it doesn't glow light up...why are you cooking in the dark..

I had the same problem & would have to stand by & keep pressing start. I had it checked, to no avail. I gave up & bought a new microwave.....

My first timer didn't do anything strange and is working very well. The second one I bought did something weird, similar to what you're describing but I can't remember exactly what it was. This second one has not worked correctly since the day I got it. It's on the same table as my wireless phone and whenever I put the phone back in the holder the timer loses it's programming. Too much trouble to return and get a new one so I live with it.

It sounds like you are using the dough "PROGRAM SETTING" where you make dough and bake it in a conventional over rather than the Bread Machine. To solve your problem, "You need to select the BASIC setting on the MENU before pressing the START Button". GOOD LUCK!

After you power it on, please look for a little button below the dial knob. Press that, it take you to the MENUE and so on. Good luck.

I have the same problem when I first used it, the temp only goes up to 250. I tried cooking a whole chicken, set the timer to 45mins, then it when it went off, and I checked it was not cooked yet then I tried turning it on again but to no avail! It wont turn on again! I used this thing ONCE only and i ended up with one halfcooked chicken! Disappointed!!!! Dont waste your money on this one.

Just set it up for the first time. I think I have the new version--it's white, and does not have the "program" or "+" buttons. Not hard to program; seemed fine, dispensed one meal. Then the "lunch" lcd started flashing, and it won't accept any instructions without turning the power off and starting over. Then it failed to dispense a meal and the "lunch" lcd is flashing again. Has this happened to anyone else? Does my machine have defective electronics, or is there a way to make it work?

It sounds like the cooker didn't come to pressure so the it didn't start the time count. Put a cup of water in the PC, set for whatever time (10 minutes) and see if this happens again. Be sure the gasket is seated properly and also that the pressure release knob is pointed in the right direction. Refer to the manual to be sure.

This same thing happened to me! I have the newer version (which does not lose your programed setting when you turn it off or remove the batteries, so they must be listening to everyone's complaints) and it never dispensed any food, the "lunch" lcd would just flash and I'd have to turn it off to get it to let me try to reprogram it. If anyone was able to fix this or know what's happening, I'd appreciate a response!

Mine is an older model. It has no inflation options. I just press the start button.

I just hit it once but it burns it up. I've had to just figure out the time and put in 1 minute 25 seconds manually. Brand and type could be the problem, but it's not auto.

No the start button must be pressed to activate it at the certain temp you want. Simply applying power to it will not set it in motion to boil or heat water

Yea we had the same problem. I think there's a problem with the seal, so it won't steam. We just returned it and gave up on it. If you've got a pressure cooker or even just a steamer + a blender you can make your own without baby food without this overpriced piece of defective garbage.

You have to press the button. It's above the "on" button. Press it until u have your desired heat setting.

I've found that the gas dial is touchy. If you turn it to the start position, most of the time on the first few tries it doesn't produce any gas through the burner. Try turning it while pushing in, and then turn all the way on and then off. The next turn to the start position should produce gas and you can start it with a long match or the igniter. That worked for mine, anyway...Good luck!
