The problem is, once it has cycled through areas 1,2 and 3, it starts over again! Only program A is shown to be working (not B or C). We have tried all we can think to do, other than a complete reset, to no avail. Also, because the system insists on cycling twice, we decreased the run time to 5 min. The problem is, the system automagically changed the running time (to 14 min) in each area. Could this have been a lack of rain thing, and the system automatically compensates by increasing run time? Anyway, the double cycling is the irritating (and costly) problem, and any help in correcting this would be appreciated.

Thanks
I had same problem. I reset a couple times and a week or two later it would be doing the same thing. Replaced it with a B-Hyve timer from Lowes which is wi-fi capable so now I can program from my phone which is a real plus
