KitchenAid Wall Oven Message "12:00": set the time after a power interruption

What Flashing Time, Clock, 12:00, Power Loss or Enter Time means

When power is first supplied to a KitchenAid electric wall oven such as the KOSE500ESS or KODE500ESS, or after a power interruption or failure, the display shows Time, 12:00 or POWER LOSS. Press Cancel to clear the display, then set the time of day. This is not a repair code. After the time is set again, the oven returns to normal operation, and timers or delayed cooking should be entered again.

Flashing Time, Clock, 12:00, Power Loss or Enter TimeFlashing Time, Clock, 12:00, Power Loss or Enter Time questions

Why is my oven showing 12:00?

Power was first supplied to the oven or was interrupted, so the display shows Time, 12:00 or POWER LOSS until you press Cancel and set the time of day.

Do I need a repair?

Not if you set the time and it stays. A single power interruption is the usual reason, and the oven returns to normal operation after the time is entered.

What if it happens often?

If the display keeps returning to 12:00 without any power cut at your house, call us so we can check the oven and its supply and quote in writing.
