Why does my water softener keep beeping?
Water softeners beep to inform you it is low on salt, supply water is turned off, or something in the softener is not working. It is usually best to schedule service and get a technician to check the softener when it is beeping.

How do I stop my water softener from beeping?
Kenmore, GE, or Whirlpool water softener keeps beeping. This could be due to something as simple as a brief power outage. First, simply unplug the water softener for about 1 minute, and plug it back in. This should reset the computer and restart the valve motor if it is still functional.
Why does my water softener not work?
Water must flow into the brine/salt tank and then back out for the water softener to do its job. If water is not entering the tank, perhaps the float switch is stuck or there is a clog in its tubing. If cleaning doesn’t fix the problem, the float mechanism will have to be replaced.
Is there supposed to be water in the bottom of a water softener?
There will usually be several gallons of water in the bottom of the brine tank, but usually is never more than twelve inches high. We recommend that you check the salt level in your brine tank at least monthly. The more often your system regenerates, the more you’ll need to check and add salt to the tank.
What does it mean when your water softener is beeping?
A beeping water softener is an alert that the level of salt is low, it is not receiving water, or that service is required. It is usually an alarm to let you know that the system is not registering that there is salt in the brine tank. Your water softener is probably beeping because it is not registering that salt is going through it.
Are there any problems with the Kenmore water softener?
Another common concern we get calls about often is that people tell us that water is about half way up their salt tank. If you have this issue there is something wrong with your water softener. The good news is that usually if you have this issue it can be fixed easily.
Why is the timer on my water softener not working?
The timer is an electronic control board that allows you to program your water softener and lights up the display. It also controls the water softening and resin filter flushing processes. If it isn’t working, it will need to be replaced. Step 1: Put on work gloves and unplug your water softener from its power source.
What should I do if my water softener keeps blinking?
Just let the system finish its regeneration and the display should go back to the time of day. Depending on the type of system and how it is programmed, this could take anywhere from 20 to 90 minutes. This will depend on whether the system is a water softener or just a backwashing type filter.
