Hi, Anyone familiar with Kenmore softener? Ours(approx 10 years old) does not work on brine cycle. It does not suck up the brine after fill cycle. The suction is barely there. All other cycles work OK. Any suggestion? TIA,
Today the newer models usually won't last that long before repairs are needed; usually 12 months to 4-6 years. And their replacement parts prices are very high for what they are. The Kenmore, GE, Whirlpool, Mortonsalt.com, North Star sold through plumbing/pump suppy houses all are the same and made by the same company with one exception. The GE uses a slightly different motor.
