Softener does not regenerate at all unless manually started.

Safety: No hazardous work is required for basic checks.

• 1. Check display mode: Ensure the unit is not set to a vacation or service-off mode.
• 2. Verify time and schedule: Confirm that the time-of-day and regeneration schedule are correctly programmed.
• 3. Confirm meter operation: Run water and ensure the display shows flow and decreasing remaining capacity. If not, troubleshoot the meter.
• 4. Test manual regen: If manual regeneration works but automatic does not, the timer circuit may be faulty, and the control board should be replaced.
