Kinetico softener will not start after a power outage; display is blank or unresponsive.

Safety first: Do not work on live electrical circuits. Unplug the transformer before inspection.

Power checks:

• Verify the outlet has power and any GFCI is not tripped.
• Inspect the transformer for damage or overheating.
• Check the low-voltage plug at the controller for a secure connection.

Testing:

• Use a multimeter to confirm the transformer output matches its rating.

Resolution: Replace a failed transformer. If power is present at the controller but the display remains blank, the controller board is likely damaged and should be replaced by a technician.
