Thank you so much for hosting this site! I inherited a house with a Whirlpool WHES30 water softener that doesn't turn on. I see all the options of repair posted on this site and others and don't know where to start. It is approx 8 years old but hasn't been used in approx 6 or 7 years probably because it broke at that time. I can replace the control board for $160 and start there or buy a new WHES30 for about $400. Not sure if costs would stop at $160. It was always just non-working since I've been at this house (about a year) and I don't have anyone to ask about it now. There is not a drop of salt in it so possibly ran out of salt when elderly mom was away & blew the control board? Is that where damage would have stopped? I have terribly hard water so I need something. Thanks, Barb
