Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?

Please note that we are now near to closing for the day as it is late afternoon here in the UK, so my next reply may not be until tomorrow.

I can see the issue. Your theme is applying some form of JavaScript-based customization to all select dropdown boxes on the site. It would be better to find a way to disable that, however, this custom CSS will fix it (you can place this in the Appearance -> Customize section):

.searchandfilter .sod_select .sod_list_wrapper,
.searchandfilter .sod_select .sod_label,
.searchandfilter .sod_select:before,
.searchandfilter .sod_select:after {
  display: none;
}
.searchandfilter .sod_select select {
  display: block !important;
}
.searchandfilter .sod_select {
    line-height: inherit;
    width: auto;
    padding: 0;
    border: 0;
    background: none;
    color: inherit;
    font-size: inherit;
    outline-offset: inherit;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    border-radius: 0;
    height: auto;
}
