Visual Guide for Installing Rotor Disc and Seal Kit Sears Type Valve

See animation from the Morton softener site - the link is below.  Their
softener is another variant of the Ecowater/NorthStar/Sear/GE Smartwater type system.  The animations are almost identical to the animations on the Kenmore site, except the Morton animation also shows the flow paths, disassembly and reassembly of the complete valve body, including all the o-rings.  It also shows the complete float assembly - Kenmore site doesn't show either of these assemblies last time I checked.

After the link is pulled up you have the option to run program - I had to
click the button twice - may just be my browser but I figured I'd mention
it.

Replacing motor in the 440i Timer Assembly

I bought an electric motor for my autotrol 440i. I can not figure out how to remove the motor. There is no screw in this one only a clip at the top and bottom. I can not turn it to remove it. Help!

 

* You must take the case a part from the front ( remove tripper arm gear and skipper wheel ), carefully unsnapping the gray cover from the black back plate. Press the black output "button" in as you pull cover up from the bottom.

THEN you can remove the two gears above the motor from the INSIDE, and you will be able to turn the motor from the back and remove ( once you've taken the gears out that prevent the motor from being turned from the rear ). Re-assembly is the reverse.

It's a bit of a "pain", but it can be done. Just take your time with it.
