CHECKLIST TO HELP YOU SAVE MONEY

If your water softener fails to work, make the following easy checks. Often, you will find what is wrong yourself and you won't have to call and wait for service. If you do not find anything wrong, while making the checks, and your sof- tener still does not work, call your Sears Service Department.

1.Also read ERROR CODE.

2.If an error code is not displayed, press and hold the SELECT button until the display changes. Then, press the SELECT button again and hold until a flashing model code appears. For Model No. 625.384260 it must show

H46. If any other number shows, the face plate computer is working on incorrect input and would probably be the cause of the problem. To set the correct code, press either the UP or DOWN button. When correct model code (H46) shows, press SELECT to return a flashing 12:00 AM display. Reset the present time, hardness number, etc.

PROBLEMCAUSE

No salt (or salt bridged) in the storage tank

CORRECTION

Add salt, see page 21, or break the salt bridge, see page 29. Press REGENERATION button and hold to start a regeneration, see page 23.

Water hard sometimes

Brine tank flooded

immediately after regeneration

Transformer unplugged at the watt outlet, or power cable leads loose from the electronic board, fuse blown, circuit breaker popped, or circuit switched off.

Manual bypass valve(s) in bypass position

Dirty, plugged or damaged nozzle venturi

Check for loss of power due to any of these and correct. With the power back on, look at the time display and read PROGRAM MEMO- RY, see page 19.

Look at Fig. 18 & 19 on page 15. Move the stem in a single valve to service. In a 3-valve bypass, open the inlet and outlet valve, and be sure to fully close the bypass valve.

Take apart and clean or replace damaged parts, see page 33.

The drain hose must not have kinks, sharp bends, or be raised too high above the soften- er, see page 14.

Press and release the SELECT button until HARDNESS shows in the display. Read the hardness number in the display and be sure the same grains per gallon number is shown

as on your water analysis report. See page 18 to reset. Press and release the SELECT button

until the present time shows in the display.

Avoid using hot water during this time because the water heater refills with hard water, see Automatic Bypass, page 31.
