I have no idea. Bought the house in 1999 and it was already there, so at
least six years.
Not sure I want to hire a plumber to fix it when it may be better to just
replace it with a new unit. I am pretty handy for the most part, but
electrical is not my strong point, do they all have standard fittings if I
buy a new unit? There is an electrical cord coming from behind the cabinet
wall into the unit, not sure how to detach that and hook it to a new unit.
