HarvestRight Freeze Dryer: stuck on "Starting up..." SOLVED

HarvestRight freeze dryers work great until they dont. I've seen a lot of people with this problem, but no consistent solutions. I discovered something that fixed the problem for me and several others. Sharing with the internet to hopefully help someone out somewhere someday.
Feel free to buy me a coffee if you want :)

I am stuck on start up just like you described!!! I am about to go down and try this solution!! Pray for me!! This machine is too expensive to fail and it’s almost brand new!!!!

[@lightningfrog27]

Please report back if it works. Good luck!!

I tried this! The clock was indeed not correct so I changed it to the right time and still nothing. Thank you anyway..

This didn’t solve it for me but I DID notice the last batch that ran never advanced the “batch clock” it said it completed in 1:17 hours. I think you’re on to something with this and my time clock WAS wrong so I fixed it and it’s not working still. Erg!
