Possible Causes

Installation in confined or unventilated space, Proximity to heat sources (boiler, furnace), Failing temperature sensor near electronics, Control board overheating due to internal fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before relocating or opening the controller.

  • Check installation environment: Ensure the Aquabion softener is not installed in direct sunlight, next to a boiler, or in a sealed cabinet without ventilation.
  • Improve ventilation: Provide adequate airflow around the controller by opening cabinet doors, adding vents, or relocating heat sources.
  • Inspect electronics: Remove the controller cover and look for signs of overheating (discolored PCB, melted plastic). If present, replace the main control board.
  • Sensor check: If the environment is cool but E19 persists, test or replace the controller temperature sensor if it is a separate component.

Warning: Do not drill ventilation holes in the controller housing itself; this can expose live parts and void safety certifications.
