How To Set the Clock and Change the Time On Most Generic or Unbranded Microwave Ovens

Most microwave ovens now use a similar method for setting the time on the front. Many different kitchen counter appliances like microwave ovens are made by the same manufacturers and sold under different brand names or with similar parts and designs.

0:00 Intro to changing the time on a microwave
0:23 Press the Clock button
0:41 Type in the time
0:46 Press Clock button again

Microwaves, coffee makers, air fryers, convection ovens and even some toaster ovens have clocks on them these days and trying to set all the clocks during Daylight Saving Time can be a hassle. Fortunately, most of these kitchen appliances have adopted a general method for changing and setting the time: The Clock Button!

If your device has a Clock button you typically only have to hit it once or hold it in, either type in the new time or advance up or down to the new time on the display, and then press the Clock or Start button to save your changes and get your out of "time changing" mode.

Many other small appliances are following this same methodology. It's quick and easy!

Thank you. FYI- for OSTER microwave you may have to hit START instead of clock after setting the time. Just a heads up for anyone w Osters

[berthahenderson]

Thanks!! Forgot about the Start button

[ronshaw]

Thank you. At least you didn't talk in technical terms like some of the videos. I have a Hamilton Beach and I still cannot figure out how to set "seconds" on it. Everything is in minutes.

We have a Sunbeam microwave from '78 that still works! Things were made better back then.

I have a Rival microwave and it's about 8 to 10 years old and the correct way that worked for my microwave and by the way I did set the time before only it wouldn't work this time. What I had to do was unplug the microwave and then plug it back in and everything reset and then I pressed the clock button and then was able to key in the time from the number pad and then press clock again and it's working now.

Trying to set the clock on this insignia microwave, was able to do it before but I can’t what I’am I doing wrong.?

[kerrylemay]

So what to do when it doesn't change? Keeps reverting back to the old time whether one or 2 clock push. Ticking me off.

[leonardoplays]

[curtjester]
