Possible Causes
Loose power plug, Failing transformer, Control board capacitor failure, Outlet controlled by wall switch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before handling the control or transformer.
Steps:
- Secure power connection: Ensure the transformer plug fits snugly in the outlet and the low-voltage plug is tight in the control.
- Use dedicated outlet: Move the softener to an unswitched outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch or timer.
- Check transformer: If the display flickers or dims, test or replace the transformer.
Resolution: If time resets continue despite stable power, the electronic control board backup circuit is likely failing and the board should be replaced.
