Possible Causes
Internal clock failure on control board, Power interruptions without backup, Corrupted control firmware, Defective control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal high-voltage work is required, but unplug the unit before removing the control panel.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Confirm time-of-day:
- Check that the time-of-day is set correctly and that the regeneration time is programmed (usually 2:00 AM).
- 2. Check for power loss:
- Look for blinking display or reset settings that indicate frequent power loss.
- Ensure the outlet is not controlled by a wall switch or timer.
- 3. Manual regen test:
- Start a manual regeneration. If it runs correctly, the mechanical parts are fine and the issue is with the clock/timer function.
- 4. Replace control board:
- If the clock does not keep accurate time or Err 10 persists after reprogramming, replace the electronic control board.
