Top 20 American Standard 5 ft Sliding Shower Door - Page 7 Questions & Answers

These shut-off valves don't last long before they lock up. There is always the chance that they'll break. Go ahead and turn off the main water valve, then remove the packing nut (Google images for valve packing nut). This should allow you to turn the valve stem. However, you still run the risk of not being able to get to shut off. I almost always have to replace these shut-off valves whenever replacing a faucet anyway. So, assuming the valves are threaded on to the supply pipe (not soldered) then buy replacement valves as a very first step. I am assuming you won't want to do the soldered fitting yourself. Good luck,

Hi,
Not saying that all of them screw out... but most will just turn right out...spin the top CCW and it will come out...

sounds like a bad capacitor or a bad spot on the motor. either way you will need a new pump.

i have the same issue with my aqua option toilet. if you have a water shut off installed on the supply line to the toilet, just close it enough to reduce the supply pressure. no more splashing.

It is likely a stanadyne!
It is rebuildable!!
And finally it is right above your block in the center.....

WTF?!

not sure what an 'oil can' sound is... but ... if it is popping and creaking when you step into the shower then the base is not properly supported. there is a a gap or two between your floor and the base of the shower floor.

It should be wired on a GFI receptacle or a breaker in your panel box. Check both of these before taking out your pump.

there may be something caught in the impeller in the jet motor. remove it and clean it out.

adjust the chain that connects the flap to the handle give it some slack but not so much as to get chain laying under the flap good luck and hope it helps

could be a venting issue in the plumbing. or the flapper could be leaking.this happens from those blue chlorine disks they deform the rubber parts in the tank

Not enough information to help you.

replace the fluid master

Inline heaters for whirlpool bathtubs will not and cannot maintain any comfortable water temperature. Their sole function is to slow the time it takes for the water to cool off. The myth of their capabilities has long been a misleading sales propaganda joke in the industry.

Not all manufacturers put their model numbers on their tubs. Those that do will almost always post it on a label in the area of the tub where the back usually rests in the region of the motor but not on the motor itself.

I believe your quarter size cap is an air control for you jet. It controls the amount of air coming out the jet when the tub is full of water and the motor is on. You should see the difference in swirling water turning it from right to left or the other way around. If yours has a leak then I certainly hope you find the Model number. Good luck.

You probably have excessive buildup on the pipe walls that have restricted the flow to the point of needing that second flush - or somebody flushed a plastic bag there and now it is acting like a flapper. This will also be evidenced by occasional flooding at that commode. There's only 2 solutions as I se4e it.; scrape the pipe walls ( rooter with a scraping head ) or replace the pipe for the build up, or rooter out the pipe to try to extract that blasted bag.
Good luck!!

you need to go back in and check your work it seems that it has been installed in a lower setting look at the directions, most shower assembly's have energy settings.usually just have to move the stopper to the farthest point to the left (counter clock wise).good luck.

Serval reasons: (1) noise from handle chain being metal-consider switching to lighter plastic type. (2) The rubber flap which lifts up when handle is pushed down and seals "when handle is let go" to allow water to fill in take maybe worn to the point of needing replacement-Go to any Lowe's/HomeDepot and they will walk you through replacement process of just removing old one and putting ends in place over hooks to install new one. Takes me 1 minute to do. (3) Adjust the water cut-off valve that supplies water to tank so it can feel up rapidly by just turning the value. If value is hard to turn try using some oil or WD-40 on it. Remember that one way opens to allow quicker fill up and better flush and other way just turns water to toilet off. If now of these things work then just give me a yell and I can advise further.
