How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off water to the softener, place the bypass in BYPASS to restore house water, and unplug the unit.

  • 1. Attempt manual advance: If your model allows, try manually advancing the cycle to service. If it will not move, a mechanical jam is likely.
  • 2. Remove control cover: Inspect gears and rotor for broken parts or obstructions.
  • 3. Clear debris: Remove any foreign material and ensure gears rotate freely.

When to call a technician: Internal valve repairs and motor replacement are best handled by a Rayne service technician.
