Water Softener Rotor Position Switch (replaces 7030705, 9001800, WS21X10003) 7030713

Exact match to my 13 year old Kenmore softener Model 275.

Great value vs paying hundreds for a new softner. And the install is the easiest repair I've ever done.

There is need to be careful when removing the old switch, and installing a new one. There is a white plastic gasket where one of the screws runs through it to secure the switch on its mounting plate. This gasket is small, about 3/16" diameter and 1/4" tall. It could be a challenge if you have large or buttery fingers. My fingers are neither "large" nor "buttery", but I dare say at times I was afraid the gasket may fall off my grip into the water softener. It took me several tries and patience (about 25-30 minutes) to install this switch. When installed with a new motor (I also purchased a new motor - the motor is much easier to install - no gaskets, only two screws and two wires to plug-in), my 26+ year-old Kenmore softener works as if "new"!

Only took 10 minutes to install exact part needed prompt service

Sears had the part and that was important. Could not find it on other sites.

It was easy to install all you need is a Phillips screwdriver to remove 5 screws Is a rating of 1 to 5 5 being the hardest I would say it's probably a one maybe a 2

Wasted my time as I ended up buying a new appliance anyway.
