Brand new to the forum so please forgive me for any posting errors.

I have a Whirlpool WHES44, about 4 years old. I noticed two days ago that the salt storage tank was holding too much water. I tried checking for a salt bridge or any blockages (clean the Venturi valve and the drain valve) with no luck. I also noticed a fair amount of water and rusting at the valve assembly. I assume this is the issue but I’m not sure if this is fixable - posted a video linked below. Thanks in advance for any help!

Most people consider these units disposable. 4 years is less than what we would hope for but it is not surprising either. I typically don't recommend repairing these.
