  If the control valve on your Water Depot Water Dispenser is stalled during regeneration, the cause may be a motor malfunction, indicating that the motor needs replacing. Another possibility is a lack of power at the outlet; in this case, repair the outlet or use a working one. It could also be due to a defective transformer, which would need to be replaced, or a defective PC board, which would also need replacing. Other potential causes include a broken drive gear or drive cap assembly, a broken piston retainer, or broken main or regenerant piston. If any of these parts are broken, they should be replaced.

  If the timer on your Water Depot Water Dispenser isn't showing the correct time, it could be due to a switched outlet; use an uninterrupted outlet. A power outage could also be the cause; reset the time of day. In addition, a defective PC board can cause this problem; replace the PC board.

  If the control valve on your Water Depot Water Dispenser regenerates at the wrong time, it might be due to power outages. To resolve this, reset the control valve to the correct time of day. It could also be that the time of day is not set correctly, so reset it to the correct time. Another possible cause is an incorrect regeneration time, which you should also reset.

  If the timer on your Water Depot Water Dispenser isn't displaying the time of day, first ensure the transformer is plugged in by connecting the power. If it is, check if there is electric power at the outlet; repair the outlet or use a working one if necessary. If power is available, the issue might be a defective transformer, which would need replacing, or a defective PC board, which would also need replacing.

  If the control valve on your Water Depot Water Dispenser regenerates when you press the UP and DOWN buttons but not automatically, the problem could be a defective PC board, which would need to be replaced. Alternatively, there may be a set-up error, so check the control valve set-up procedure.

  If your Water Depot Water Dispenser doesn't automatically regenerate, but does when you press the REGEN button, consider these possible causes: * **Bypass Valve Position:** Ensure the bypass valve is in the normal operation position, not the bypass position. Put bypass valve in normal operation position. * **Meter Connection:** Check if the meter connection is disconnected and connect the meter to the PC board if necessary. * **Meter Turbine Issues:** Inspect the meter turbine for restrictions or stalls. Remove the meter and check for rotation or foreign matter. * **Defective Meter:** Replace the meter if it is defective. * **Defective PC Board:** Replace the meter if the PC Board is defective. * **Set-up Error:** Check the control valve set-up procedure.
