ALWAYS MAKE THESE INITIAL CHECKS FIRST

Does the time display show the correct time of day?

--If display is blank, check power source to the softener.

--If time is flashing, power was off for over 6

hours. The softener resumes normal operation

but regenerations occur at the wrong time.

- -If an error code (Example: Err03) shows in the

faceplate display, go to AUTOMATIC ELEC-

TRONIC DIAGNOSTICS.

Plumbing bypass valve(s) must fully in ser- vice position.

The inlet and outlet pipes must connect to the softener inlet and outlet respectively.

Is the transformer plugged into a zz live,• /!

grounded wall outlet, and the power cable fas- tened securely to the controller?

_The

valve drain hose must be free of kinks and

 

sharp bends, and not elevated over 8 ft. above the

 

floor.

Remove the top cover and salt tank cover.

Is there salt in the storage tank?

_Is

the brine tubing

connected?

(See water

flow

 

diagrams).

 

 

 

 

Is the brine valve

float set right? (See page

5-4).

Press the SELECT button three times to display

the hardness setting. Be sure it is the correct set-

ting for the household's water supply. (Make a

hardness test of the raw water and compare with

the hardness setting. Also test a soft water sam-

ple to verify if a problem exists.) Press the SE- LECT button twice more to return to present time in the display.

If you do not find the problem after making initial

checks, do the MANUAL INITIATED ELEC-

TRONIC DIAGNOSTICS, and the MANUAL AD-

VANCE REGENERATION CHECK.

625.38817, 625.38818 specifications

The Kenmore 625.38817 and 625.38818 are two top-tier water softeners that stand out in their category for their innovative features and reliable performance. Both models effectively address hard water issues, which can cause scale build-up in pipes and on fixtures, leading to diminished appliance efficiency and lifespan.

One of the main features of the Kenmore 625.38817 and 625.38818 is their efficient ion-exchange technology. This process utilizes sodium ions to replace the hard minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, present in the water supply. As a result, users experience softer water that is gentler on their skin and hair, as well as improved soap and detergent performance when washing clothes or dishes.

Another notable characteristic of these models is their capacity. The 625.38817 features a 30,000-grain capacity, while the 625.38818 offers an even larger 40,000-grain capacity. This allows households with different water usage levels to find an appropriate fit. The larger capacity model is particularly well-suited for bigger families or those who frequently use large amounts of water.

Both models also come with a demand-initiated regeneration system. This technology ensures that the water softener only regenerates when necessary, based on the actual water usage. This feature not only conserves water and salt but also enhances the overall efficiency of the system, reducing operating costs.

Additionally, the digital control panel on both models makes it easy to monitor settings and adjust them as needed. Users can accurately track their remaining salt levels and receive alerts when it’s time to replenish. The simple interface ensures ease of use for all members of the household, regardless of their technical expertise.

The Kenmore 625.38817 and 625.38818 are also designed with robust construction, ensuring long-lasting durability. Their compact design allows for installation in various spaces, making them versatile enough to fit into most homes.

In conclusion, the Kenmore 625.38817 and 625.38818 water softeners offer compelling features, advanced technologies, and remarkable efficiency. With their effective ion-exchange systems, demand-initiated regeneration, and user-friendly controls, these models provide practical solutions for homeowners looking to tackle hard water issues without compromising on quality or convenience.
