Milwaukee Job site radio

Check to fuse.. there may be one inside

if it work on battery and didnt work on 120 volt,the transformer is dead,i see a lot of radio with dead transformer.
if it dont work with battery and 120v,the control board have problem.

probably the transformer, if it works on the battery but not plugged in thats the most likely cause. I have the same problem and will repost if the transformer replacement works. Cheers

turn the radio on, push the MEM button display window will flash turn the tuning knob clockwise to set hours and counter clockwise to set minutes push the MEM button and hold 5 seconds to set time. Hope this helps, if I have solved your problem would you please vote accordingly and thank you.

Go go this link and look in the second paragraph under "Using Your Radio"

The numbers at the end of the link are the model number. If yours is not that model, the fix may still work.

may be there is something wrong with the male end you plug into the wall or the cord itself

If the AC cord can be removed from the back of the radio, then there is a mechanical lever inside where the AC cord plugs into the radio. That lever will cause the battery connection inside to be open (or disconnected) so that it will run off AC and not blow up the batteries. That is why it won't run on batteries when that cord is plugged in.

If it runs on batteries but not AC, find another cord to try. Most radios use about the same cord. If a second cord still doesn't make it work, it's most likely a fuse inside for the AC circuitry. they are usually mounted on a circuit board inside the radio right near where the AC cord plugs into the radio.

You should be able to take the radio apart (while it's unplugged from AC of'course) and find that fuse. If your good with a soldering iron you can replace the fuse. Replacements can be found at Radio Shack. If your reading these instructions to begin with, your probably not good with a soldering iron and you should just buy a new radio. Good luck.

Mine has a bad transformer, but I am having a hard time finding a replacement. This is due to the fluctuating voltage of the job site generator.

They do! If they plug together, they will do fine. My milwaukee set all uses the same batteries.

The transformer needs to be replaced. 120VAC to 15VAC. Take a look on amazon for it, here: Amazon com 15VAC transformers. Wish you best of luck.
