Mechanical Timer Switch

Ok so turned dial round to the correct time and got 'stiff' in a few places and now seems to be working!!

 

Bloody thing, but think it must be an issue with the gears inside clock, will let it run for 24hrs and seen if it gets all the way round, if so great by manually turning the clock more than 360degrees (as I got mixed up between am and pm) I may have fixed it.  If it stops working then I'll bin it and get a new one.

 

Thanks for the help guys

Always good to have the heating working properly at this time of the year . 

If that turns out to have cured it, can you update the thread to wrap it up please . Simple solutions are the valuable ones !

So checked it and the clocked had stopped at 9pm, turned it more than 360 degress again and guess what...

It stopped again at 9pm, which is where I think it was when I first looked at it.

Conclusion: the clock has a problem

Solution: get a new clock

 

Thanks guys

You should be able to get a generic replacement for about a tenner, or thereabouts.

That has to be, singularly, the best post so far in 2017
