I have a Kenmore UltraSoft 175 water softener and have a problem that I've not been able to solve. It is suppose to be an on demand softener but I can't get it to automatically soften the water. If I push the recharge button and select either "Recharge tonight" or "Recharge now" it will run and generates soft water but it will never do it automatically. The hardness of the water in this area is 8 and I've set it to 15 hoping that would make it run automatically but no luck. Here are a few things I've checked.
Thanks!!!
- Went into diagnostic mode and checked to make sure that the meter is operating and it counted up just as it is suppose to.
- Checked the SR code and it is set to SR25 and that is correct according to the manual
- Check the valve operation by advancing it thru the different stages as described in the user manual and all that seem to work.
- Check the salt level setting which was fine. I also checked to make sure there wasn't a salt bridge but knew there probably wasn't since it generates soft water if I make it generate manually.
Thanks!!!
