GE 15312 sunsmart can be wired for single-pole or 3-way.One 3-way switch is replaced. The other 3-way switch remains and is re-wired slightly so that timer programming can be reversed.Wiring:Copy following link to double-check wiring is correct:http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-GE-15312-timer.html#3-wayScroll down and look at each of the three 3-way illustration, Line side, load side, without neutral.Here's how the timer works for 3-way:When the red wire receives power, it reverses the timer programming of on-becomes-off or off-becomes-on.So the purpose of the remaining 3-way switch is to connect-or-disconnect power to timer red wire >> this causes the 3-way effect.Basically the remaining 3-way switch is converted into a simple on-off switch by using only one of the brass screws, and the dark screw. So one of the brass screws on the remaining 3-way switch has no wire connected to it. It makes no difference which of the two brass screws is selected.Add a comment as needed.This timer has 1 year limited warranty through jasco, or just buy another one from Home Depot and return defect in new package.

You can also replace 3-way switch in entryway with ST01C 3-way timer. And leave garage switch in place.Leave garage switch in one position, either up or down.Here's 3-way switch wiring for ST01C:Note the remaining 3-way switch has to be re-wired very slightly.http://waterheatertimer.org/ST01C-program.html#3-way If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7

10-24-12Identify which of 2 switches has the Hot or Power wire.Hot wire will be connected to dark screw on one of the switches.If Hot wire is in garage box, then follow this Step 1-2-3 diagram for ST01C timer:http://waterheatertimer.org/images/GE-15312-3-way-circuit-6-60.jpgIf Hot or power wire is in entryway box, then you have a '3-way no neutral,' so cap off 3 wires going to other switch. ..http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-switches.html#3-way-aAnd then wire ST01C timer as single pole no neutral.http://waterheatertimer.org/images/ST01C-single-pole-284.jpg If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7

I'm not sure what timer you have.
Programmable timers are made so you press-and-hold the button, and then display goes up through the numbers as you describe.
I test timers, and have not seen the fault you describe. 4-6% of timers arrive defective.
However you have several timers that do the same thing.
If you press the button once, then the first number shows, press button again and next number shows.

If your timer is going up through the number with one push of the button then try resetting timer.
I cannot identify your timer to know what the reset steps are.

Also, many timers you push the + button to go up through the numbers, and push the - button to go down through the numbers > try both buttons since one may be made for individual selection and other for acceleration through all numbers.
If timer operates on 120V, perform circuit analyzer test on the circuit to eliminate electrical as source of problem.
If this is a hard-wire timer, carefully review of wiring.

If you find the specific source of problem, add a comment.

I wrote a page and tested Utilitec timers
Wiring and programming is shown on page:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Program-wire-Utilitec-0192773.html

Here's how to tell where problem is:
Press ON-OFF button to see if timer turns on lights.
If manual override does NOT work, then wiring is wrong.
If manual override works, and lights turn ON-OFF, then programming is wrong.

Press ON-OFF and then add a comment for more help.

Question posted under ST01C.If timer worked before and stopped working, then replace CR2 battery located in tray below buttons.Reset timer by holding down on-off and press reset momentarily, keep holding on-off until display changes.If this is new installation, then distance from light might be more than 100 feet, or wire to light is underground, or wiring is wrong.More information is needed.Add a comment.Copy following link for wiring, battery, ez programming steps, manual etc.http://waterheatertimer.org/ST01C-program.html#wire If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7

no-op means 'no operation.

The manual says last resort to revive non-working timer is RESET timer.
This action will delete current day setting and all programming

Hold down ON/OFF and use paper clip to push in reset button for 2 seconds.
Release reset button but keep holding ON/OFF button down until INIT flashes on screen
Then release ON/OFF button and 12:00 should display.

At this point, timer can be re-programmed.
Simple step by step shows on following link:
http://waterheatertimer.org/ST01C-program.html

If timer will not accept programs, or operate after RESET, then timer has gone bad.
ST01C comes with 1 year limited warranty.
Most in-wall timers have same limited warranty.

Replacing timer:
-Advantage of ST01C is timer does not need Neutral wire to operate, and wiring can be simple.
-If you are using ST01C for 3-way switching, then easiest thing is to replace with same timer.
-If you are using timer as astronomic dawn-dusk, then replacements include EJ500, Utilitec 0192773, Aube T1034, T1070, T1072, T1073.
-If you are using timer for 7-day operations then there are numerous options:

yes they are horrible,you can try pushing very ******* the on off button and holding for extra long my best solution is to replace with a regular switch and install a photocell anywhere between the switch and your first light including at the first light. much more reliable and much less expensive. can also get photocells with dusk to dawn opperation that will allow you to control how long your lights stay on after dark 2, 4, 6 hours or all night . mechanical timers are also very reliable but expensive big and very industrial looking usually installed in a garage or mech room good luck

Timer is wired incorrectly.Single pole wiring does not use the red wire. Red wire is capped off.Copy following link to see specific wiring illustrations for ST01C timer:http://waterheatertimer.org/ST01C-program.html#wireRelated but not same problem:In some 3-way wiring installations, if the power goes out, or if the bulb burns out, the timer can click. The lights do not blink because power is out or bulb is bad. Simply flip the 3-way switch to stop clicking sound. Then change light bulb, or wait for power to resume.
