Safety: No internal work required for basic checks.

Check regen mode: Ensure the Foridra controller is set to automatic (metered or time-clock) regeneration, not manual-only.
Set clock: Program the correct time of day and regeneration time.
Test flow meter: Open a faucet and confirm the display shows flow. If not, service the Foridra flow sensor (see E05).
Board replacement: If settings and meter are correct but auto-regeneration still does not occur, the control board may need replacement.

Softener never regenerates unless started manually
