Softener does not regenerate automatically; only regenerates when manually started.

Safety first: Work at the control panel with dry hands.

• Step 1 – Check mode: Ensure the softener is set to demand-initiated regeneration or time clock mode as desired, not OFF.
• Step 2 – Verify clock: Confirm the time of day is correct and that the clock advances accurately.
• Step 3 – Test flow sensor: Run water and confirm the display shows flow. If not, service the turbine and sensor.
• Step 4 – Review capacity: Ensure capacity and hardness are set so that the unit will reach its regeneration threshold within a reasonable time.
• Step 5 – Control board replacement: If all sensors and settings are correct but auto-regeneration still does not occur, replace the electronic control board.
