Possible Causes
Loose connector between main PCB and valve motor module, Damaged communication cable, Defective motor control module, Electrical interference from nearby equipment
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching internal wiring.
- Inspect internal harness: Open the control housing and locate the multi-core cable between the main PCB and the valve motor/position module. Check for damage or pulled wires.
- Reseat connectors: Disconnect and reconnect the plugs at both ends to ensure good contact.
- Check for interference: Ensure no high-power devices (e.g., pumps, welders) share the same circuit without proper filtering. If possible, move the softener to a dedicated circuit.
- Visual check of modules: Look for burn marks or corrosion on the motor control module. Replace the module or complete valve head if damage is evident.
- Reset and test: Restore power and perform a factory reset if available. If E12 returns, a module or the main PCB may need replacement.
