Hello James, You might want to try changing the washer on the end of the stem. Try using a beveled washer instead of a flat washer. You might not have to turn the knob so hard to turn it off. Good luck hope this helps.

You probably have a faulty seal in the valve. You will need to take apart the faucet and determine what seal is bad. Contact the manufacturer or a local hardware store to see if they have a replacement valve cartrige for your faucet or individual parts.

Hello,

All aerators screw in, one way or another. If the faucet end presents as a cartridge screw on type, it will unscrew from the supply piping and is then further disassembled.
Those flush with the end of the fixture are either remoed from the end, or are removed by removing the nozzle from the supply piping (usually flexible/retractable) and then disassembled from the supply side.
Hope this was helpful,

change ball valve as may have low pressure fill valve with in

Generally the sprayer trigger assembly will unscrew from the hose. You can then point the hose toward the sink and turn on the water. It should flow freely through the hose when either the hot or cold is on. Generally there is a aerator on the spray head. You can access it by unscrewing the tip of the sprayer assembly and clean out any mineral deposits. There may also be an inline type filter in the handle where it screws onto the hose that can be removed and cleaned. If this doesn't help I would guess the on-off triggering assembly is broken and you would have to replace the sprayer head.Hope this helps.

unfortunately you will need a wrench to take it apart.. you can use some contact cleaner or rust remover to loosen it up a it. Just be sure to wash all the residue off.

Hi rysenga, the problem is an omission of directions. The section 9 directions are the worst offender and left me never again to purchase a Kohler product. First, this connection for the pull out hose to the outlet fitting should have been a screw on connection. Should have been. Ok it was not, I'll get over it. But the directions never mention having to install the white plastic bushing. Not at all. Nor does it mention that the bushing should be put on the outlet first and then push the hose connection in. This omission is a huge one, but should help anyone else reading this complete the install. Find the oval lip white bushing and install this first on the body, and then just push the connector in. Done.

is it a kitchen faucet or a tub faucet? if it a kitchen faucet it will be a cartridge issue, if it is a tub faucet it could be as easy as a o-ring or a separate cartridge. in any case the cartridges are usually in the main part of the handle and you usually have to take apart the faucet. i know this may sound funny but make sure you turn off the water to the faucet, you would be surprised how many people try to fix this with water on.

sounds like u got some kind of blockage in it take apart and clean

If there is a small loop on the bottom of the stopper, the popup lever is supposed to poke through that. All you need to do is look at the drain tailpiece for the lever sticking out the back, undo the retaining nut to allow the lever to be removed from the drain, drop the stopper down so the loop can be engaged by the actuator rod you just pulled out, retighten the nut, then make the final adjustments for open height with the small metal tab holds the lever to the piece of metal with holes in it that is attached to the drain poppet in the middle of the faucet assembly above It should close completely and then open to drain.

Not trying to be smartass. but is water turned back on? and is the valve actually working? I had a shutoff go bad when i shut it off ot closed and when i reopened it the shaft spun but the valve didnt open.

Depending on what exactly is leaking, you have a couple options. Many new faucets have a replaceable cartridge, which can often be picked up at a Home Depot or Lowes type of store. If not you may need to replace the faucet as an assembly.

get yourself some thrift and you wont need to take it apart

under the sink there is a arm that you can raise to push the button up higher in the sink however fist unhook the pin that holds the rod in place under the sink and pull the plug out and clen first then just adjust the arm one notch at a time to get it high enought. If you need more help just post here.

HI!kindly check your angle valve if there is a problem or even your supply going to your faucets.Kindly check also the knobs of your faucets.

Hi,
This seems to be a problem with the diverter valve...that is the internal valve that diverts water to the spray head,,,,
When the water shuts down, try the spray head and see if you still have water there...if so then the diverter is probably the problem...
If you have water no where then it is probably dirt floating around and clogging up the main valve...take the hose off of the hot and cold and then blow air backwards through the spout with the valve open...this should clean out any dirt in the valve...

If it leaks out of the shower head and not the faucet tap, then I would look into the scald guard setting or the selector lever or even for a small scratch around the cartridge.

1 Close the hot and cold water valves in the cabinet beneath the sink to shut the water supply off to the bath faucet.

2 Remove the bath faucet's handle to access the valve cartridge. The faucet handle is removed by first detaching the handle's insert cap using the tip of a screwdriver or utility knife to expose the handle screw. Remove the handle screw with a Phillips screwdriver, then pull the handle off the valve cartridge stem.

3 Loosen and remove the cartridge valve nut with an adjustable wrench. Some faucet models retain the valve cartridge with a snap ring and are removed with snap ring pliers.

4 Pull the old valve cartridge out of the bath faucet base, using pliers.

5 Insert the new replacement valve cartridge into the faucet housing and replace the nut or snap ring removed in Step 3, using an adjustable wrench or snap ring pliers.

6 Reinstall the faucet's handle onto the valve cartridge post, then secure the handle's screw, using a screwdriver.

7 Replace the insert cap into the handle to cover the handle's screw hole.

8 Turn on the hot and cold water valves beneath the sink to restore the water supply.
