How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: None specific; adjust settings at the control panel.

  • Step 2 – Reset time: Follow the GE manual to set the correct time of day, ensuring AM/PM is correct.
  • Step 3 – Check regeneration time: Set the regeneration start time to a low-usage period (e.g., 2:00 AM).
  • Step 4 – Monitor: Confirm the next regeneration occurs at the expected time.
