Wondering about the light on your softener's front panel? A steady light is normal, while a flashing light might need some attention. Let's take a look at what it means.
- Steady (not flashing): Your water softener is working normally.
- Flashing slowly: Your softener's salt level is low. After adding more salt, visit our Salt Level Programming article to learn how to reset your salt level.
- Flashing slowly with 'SCHEDULED CLEAN' shown: Four months have passed, meaning it's time to use a bottle of Whirlpool® Water Softener Cleanser.
- Flashing rapidly with 'CURRENT TIME' shown: You'll want to set your softener's clock using the up and down arrow buttons, then press Program once the time is set correctly.
- Flashing rapidly with 'Err' shown: Your softener's electronics have encountered a problem. Take a look at our Error Code article for some troubleshooting tips.
