How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before opening the control housing.

  • Check manual: Determine whether your Viessmann model uses a replaceable backup battery.
  • Replace backup battery: If present and accessible, replace the battery with the specified type, observing polarity.
  • Use surge-protected supply: Connect the softener to a surge-protected outlet or UPS to reduce power disturbances.
  • Board replacement: If settings are still lost after short outages, the control board's memory circuit may be defective and require replacement.
