Possible Causes

Failed control PCB on Scalemaster unit, No power supply to softener, Faulty motor drive circuit, Internal fuse blown

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Before opening the unit, isolate mains power at the socket or fused spur.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Verify power: Check that the socket or fused spur is live and that any plug fuse is intact.
  • 2. Inspect power lead: Ensure the power cord is not damaged and is firmly plugged into the softener.
  • 3. Look for internal fuse: Some Scalemaster models have an internal low-voltage fuse on the PCB. If accessible and you are competent, check and replace with the exact type if blown.

If the unit still will not initiate regeneration, the PCB or motor circuit likely requires professional replacement.
