Hardie TC-6B Running Program Twice: Eliminate Extra Start Times

Program Runs, Completes, Then Immediately Repeats

You likely have a second start time set (e.g., start 1 at 7:00 AM, start 2 at 7:30 AM). The controller sees the second start time before the first cycle finishes and restarts.

Go to Start Time 2 → set to OFF.
Go to Start Time 3 → set to OFF.
Keep only Start Time 1 active.
