How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the softener before removing the front control panel.

  • Inspect keypad area: Look for signs of water intrusion, condensation, or physical damage to the buttons.
  • Check ribbon cable: Remove the control cover and verify the keypad/display ribbon cable is fully seated on the main board. Reseat it carefully.
  • Dry moisture: If condensation is present, allow the control to dry completely in a warm, dry area before reassembly. Do not use direct heat guns.
  • Test operation: Reconnect power and test each button. If Err 9 persists and buttons do not respond, the keypad or display board likely needs replacement.
