Why is my Whirlpool Water Dispenser not producing soft water and the salt level not dropping?
If your Whirlpool Water Dispenser isn't producing soft water and the salt level isn't dropping, it could be due to a salt bridge in the storage tank. Refer to the “Breaking a Salt Bridge” section to break it. Alternatively, the bypass valves might be in the bypass position; move them to the service position.
What to do if my Whirlpool WHES30 Water Dispenser has no soft water and the display is blank?

Why is my Whirlpool WHES30 Water Dispenser water hard sometimes?
If your Whirlpool Water Dispenser is dispensing hard water sometimes, it could be due to several reasons. Check if the time is set correctly and change it if necessary. You may also need to refer to the “Set Water Hardness” section to correctly set the water hardness. Another reason may be that the model code programmed might be incorrect, so refer to the “Program the Water Softener” section to set it correctly. Avoid using hot water while the softener is regenerating, as the water heater will fill with hard water. Test untreated water for hardness and iron, and program the water softener accordingly, referring to the “Set Water Hardness” section. Finally, check for leaking faucets or toilet valves, as excessive water usage can also cause this issue. Fix all leaks and always fully close fa...
What to do if Whirlpool Water Dispenser salt storage tank is full of water, water running to drain while unit is in the soft water cycle?
If your Whirlpool Water Dispenser's salt storage tank is full of water and water is running to drain while the unit is in the soft water cycle, the nozzle and venturi assembly might be dirty, plugged, or damaged. Take it apart, clean it, and inspect it. An inner valve fault could also be causing a leak, so replace the seals and rotor. Ensure that the valve drain hose is free of kinks, sharp bends, or any water flow blockage. Also, check if the valve drain line and Salt Storage Tank overflow drain are connected together by a tee; if so, disconnect the tee and run separate drain lines. Low or high system water pressure can also be a factor; increase well pump output to a minimum of 20 psi if the pressure is low, and add a pressure reducing valve in the supply pipe to the softener if daytime ...
