Reviews

OK for installing the kit, but instruction error
March 02, 2021

There is an instruction error regarding steps 2 and 12. Step 2 says to start a manual recharge then unplug the softener. So now the timer is in "Fill" mode when unplugged. Then step 12 says to reinstall the valve cam with it turned to "service". So now when you plug the softener, the valve is not in sync with the timer.

The kit was complete and contained the correct parts. It dd seem over-priced. But they do have a captive market.

Water Softener Leak Repair
April 11, 2020

After scheduling Sears repair service for our Sears Water Softener and being stood up twice we decided to complete the repair on our own. The Sears Parts Direct helped us trouble shoot our problem and provided a Link to a U-Tube Video that demonstrated how to make the repair. We are now enjoying soft water again.
