Ed I Waxhaw , NC August 10, 2014 Appliance: Model GXFS40H The body valve for my ge water softener broke at the inlet and outlet valves due to me not supporting the pipes sufficiently Very easy replacement of the body valve. I reused all the o ring and gaskets. I would have bought them though if it would have been suggested to me by Appliance pros. I lubed all the originals with Vasoline as I put it back together. I know have the pipes supported properly as well so that there is not excessive down pressure on the valves. You will need a small pick to remove the o rings.
