Nobel softener will not start at all, display is blank and unit is unresponsive

Safety first: Do not open electrical components while plugged in. If you are not comfortable working with electricity, contact a professional.

• Check outlet: Plug a lamp or other device into the same outlet to confirm it has power. Reset any tripped breakers or GFCI outlets.
• Inspect power adapter: If your Nobel uses an external transformer, ensure it is warm (not hot) to the touch after being plugged in for a while. Replace it if it is cold and no voltage is present at the low‑voltage plug.
• Verify connections: Confirm the low‑voltage plug is fully inserted into the control head. Wiggle gently to see if the display flickers—if so, the connector may be loose or damaged.
• Internal fuse: Some control boards have a small replaceable fuse. With power disconnected, remove the cover and inspect the fuse. Replace only with the same type and rating if blown.

If the display remains dead after these checks, the main control board is likely defective and should be replaced.
