Possible Causes
Ageing or loose Aqua Dial transformer, Motor stalled against jammed cam, Control valve mounted against resonant surface
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching the transformer or motor.
- Identify source: Place a hand lightly on the transformer and then the valve head to feel where the vibration is strongest.
- Check for jammed motor: If the motor hums but the cam does not move, follow the E03 steps to inspect for a jam.
- Secure transformer: Ensure the transformer is firmly mounted and not rattling against a wall or shelf.
- Isolate vibrations: Add rubber pads or mounts between the softener and mounting surface to reduce resonance.
- Replace noisy transformer: If the transformer itself buzzes loudly, replace it with the correct Aqua Dial part.
