    Ours doesn’t blink, so if it’s more than a minute of time on the timer it literally just looks like the time is set wrong

      We had a power outage a couple months ago: when the power came back, the clock on the microwave stopped remembering the time. You set it for 1:30pm for example, then look at it ten minutes later and it’d be something like 5:26am, ten min later and it’s now 2:48pm, and on and on.

      We unplugged it a couple times, but it wouldn’t fix it; time was still jumping all over the place.

      Had another power outage last week. Power came back: Suddenly it’s working perfectly again. 🤷🏻

        That’s really quite strange. Probably not the issue but some electrical devices use the frequency of electricity to keep track of time.
