Kenmore 70 series softener brines but doesn't soften


Posted by Lonnie Steinke on December 24th, 2003 10:13 AM

I have a 70 series softener. I cycles through all modes, has correct flow rates on all cycles, draws brine, etc., but still does not produce soft water. Resin is good, bypass valves are new, salt is being used up. Water flowing to drain during brining tastes salty (like it's supposed to). Replaced rotor and seals. Is it possible that brine flow is not contacting resin, but leaking past distributor/standpipe o-ring? Any help? Thanks.
