Many issues with the new generation 2 mes. Controller happens to be one of them. If you are sure you are setting the cook time correctly (that means hours AND minutes) then you may have a bad controller. Call mb service and they will send you a new one. They are aware of the problem and have been helpful with problems like this.

Are you possibly using an extension cord? Possibly throwing a breaker.
