Possible Causes

Corrupted firmware due to power surge, Failing EEPROM/flash memory, Incomplete firmware update (if supported), Control board aging

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the softener before opening the control housing. Do not attempt board‑level repairs unless qualified.

  • Power cycle: Disconnect power for 10 minutes, then reconnect. Observe whether E20 reappears immediately.
  • Check power quality: Plug the unit into a surge‑protected outlet to prevent further damage from spikes.
  • Factory reset: If the menu allows, perform a factory reset of the control and re‑enter all settings. This may rewrite configuration memory.
  • Firmware update: If Nobel provides firmware updates for your model (via service tools), have an authorized technician reflash the control.

Persistent E20 indicates a failing control board. Replacement with the correct Nobel board is recommended.
