The on/off markings have completely disappeared on the button. Also, it seems things don't set up despite following directions

I agree with you. I have done everything to the letter over several months and have never had a good result with this. At best I had a soupy half frozen mess. It is a total waste of money and I have given up on it.

I have quit using mine, it doesn't work the lid bounces up and down when its running and normally the ice cream is caked to the inside of the bowl, I was glad I didn't spend more on this than I did, not A good investment:(

I have had none of the problems reported here. I have made several flavors of ice cream and they have come out great. I have even added ingredients such as cherries when I made Chocolate ice cream. I believe the key to success is to make sure the ingredients are very cold when put into the frozen bowl. You do have to hold the lid down for the first few minutes until the mixer is moving smoothly, but then it works perfectly. It has to be eaten right after making the ice cream. I have never put it back into the freezer for later so I don't know how that works. Good luck if you try again.

Sounds like a defect.. barely pressing button should change modes while a firmer press should click and power off..sounds like a lil bit of bad luck. :(

Did you check the slide button at the bottom? There's an 'on', 'off', and 'remote' setting.

If it used to, but doesn't, its probably broken and does it matter if on or off? If it never has, it is probably set up wrong. For apple, download free E version of "The Missing Manual" for your OS version (10.7 on) and worm your way to how to set up buttons, you can get all 5 to work

Hopefully your first notes / drawings that are stuck on there at the moment are nothing embarassing!! :-) Make sure you push the button at the top down very firmly, it's an actual button, not touch sensitive like many other gadgets these days. Possible you got a defective unit too - nobody beats Amazon about making returns easy and fast.

without knowing more kind of hard to tell you anything...have you tried pushing the reset button?

Have you installed the CH Control manager? Try using that to test each button. Loading a new profile might help. You can also email support@chproducts.com and they are great help.

I am having the same problem. The remote died about two weeks after we set the system up. I thought I was incompetent with the learning mode because I could not get it to work. I guess we are lucky that the buttons work.

Unscrew the battery case, the part with the button. There's probably a tag or plastic between the batteries so it didn't get turned on by accident during shipping

There is a button on the side - the red one in the photo. If it is flipped in the off position, it will lose time. If you flip it to "timer" (I don't have mine in front of me so I am not certain of the exact indicator) it will time perfectly, and will actually turn on and off. I had a similar problem with mine and discovered that the switch had probably been knocked into the other position. If it's not that, it probably needs to be replaced.

Hi Joyce. It isn't easy to do because the directions are worthless! It will set! Just keep experimenting with the buttons while it's in time/date stamp. It's been months sense I reset mine and I really don't remember what sequence of buttons I pushed. Sorry. I wish I could be of more help.

I sent two back because I could not get the "set" button to set. Then I used a pen as answered here and it worked. The instructions ought to inlcude this info. Thank heavens we have friends out there to help. Thanks!

Thanks from me, also! I had the same problem. Easy fix!I will say that the instruction manual is very vague.

You have to hold the button in. Unfortunately it doesn't have an on/off button or switch.

There is no light/visual feedback from the device when buttons are pressed.
