Gary,
If you are sure it is not user error, then post the problem again...I think we
are
misunderstanding your problem somehow.

Well, the programming screen on this model is simple enough that a
kindergarten kid should be able to program it. I don't know where my
procredure could be going off course. Also, this problem was the
customer's complaint and apparently he had been setting the timer for
years, so with all this together, I doubt it is a simple problem of not
programming it correctly.
