Harvey softener does not regenerate at all unless started manually

Safety: No internal work is needed for basic checks.

• Set clock: Ensure the time-of-day is correct and that the unit is not stuck in a power-fail mode.
• Enable auto mode: Confirm that automatic regeneration is enabled in the Harvey settings.
• Verify flow registration: Check that the display shows flow when water is used. If not, address the flow meter.
• Observe for a week: After corrections, monitor whether the unit regenerates automatically at the programmed time.

If it still fails to regenerate automatically, the control board or meter input may be defective and require professional replacement.
