Valve or filter screen likely clogged with mineral deposits. Disassemble and clean.

Yes. The cardboard washer is the last thing before the nut and the rubber goes next to the sink bottom. The cardboard washer is to keep the nut from grabbing the rubber washer so it stays flat.
Also over time the rubber will stick to the nut and if you ever need to take it apart it keeps that from happening.

gently tap up on it calcium is holdin place cartridge under handle

Clean the aerator and I think that will do it.

The aerator is at the end of the spout where the water comes out it just screws off.

Hi, Please bought new screw kit (1142324) then, Regards

I'm assuming that you are talking about a faucet with a pull out spout. Can you feed it up from underneath? Other suggestions: Call the manufacturer's help line. Google on "install 'faucet manufacturer name and model'"

Hi,
There should be a nut there that holds everything together...remove the nut and the guts will come up and out...
I usually use a pump pliers and a rag...to make sure I don't mess things up...
If the shroud of the handle totally covers the nuts then don't worry about the rag...

Usually, low pressure or volume in a faucet is due to a plugged up aerator, which can be unscrewed from the output and cleaned, or a chunk of something partially plugging the supply valve.
Have you cleaned the aerator screen?

there could be dirt in the shower head or the two way divertor valve. i would remove the shower head first.

Replace both Kohler faucet cartridges. You can get free replacements from Kohler. Their faucets all come with a lifetime warranty.

run the 'setup.exe' of your game, and follow instructions on the installation wizard.

Hi,

The part you need is the 500520 pressure balancing unit shown here

If the faucet was working before and then just stopped, it is the mixing valve or a clogged supply line.
turn the water off and remove the mixing valve. Turn the water on and see if you have good flow from both hot and cold ports inside the faucet.
Caution- this procedure can get messy, close the shower curtain or door.
Call Kohler and ask for a new mixing valve for free.

Place a few drops of vinegar into the screw hole and wait a little bit. Try removing the handle again, sounds like it is just stuck on the cartridge stem. The handle should come off first, and then the bonnet. Here's the parts breakdown for your faucet from Kohler.

Hi,
There is a loose washer in the faucet...this flaps as the water goes through it and makes the vibration...
You either need to replace the faucet or the cartridge (washer) in the faucet that valves the water...
This will stop that vibration and hammering sound

Kohler makes their sinks standard, and most all sinks are the same size hole, yes it will fit.

hi, if you push down on the button and giggle it around it should pop back up once you have it up remove it by unscrewing it and clean the area so that it won't get jammed again
