Kohler pop up plug staying closed

The plug has a little hole in the end - that rocker-arm lever fits through the hole. If the plug gets turned 90 degrees to the side before installing the lever, the lever won't go through the holeand the popup won't pop up. Pull the lever back out, rotate the plug 90 degrees with your fingertips or thumb, and put it back in. It may take several tries.

Water entering twist mechanism which closes K-7160 tub drain and dripping on outside of Kohler cast iron tub into basement below. Is the solution to tighten gasket on outside of tub or fix water backsplash...

If the water is entering through the overflow on the twist mech. then the gasket should be tightened and or adjusted. If possible feel around on the top of that fitting from the back side to rule out water leaking from other source, such as backsplash or faucet from escutcheons. It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of how to fix it. I hope this helps.

Slow tub drain

I am not completly sure about the kohler,but i think that you have a toe tap drajn.You should be able to un-screw it counter clockwise.IF you can get it un-screwed look at the bottom of the toe tap.There will be a screw or a plastic nut.I beleave that you loosen it to raise the drain I hope my information is correct,I will certanly do some research on your drain.

When we press the "on" switch in or Kohler whirlpool tub it trips the wall switch. I changed the wall plug and it still trips when trying to turn it on. It has always worked fine. Any suggestions..

Remove the GFCI WALL OUTLET and try connecting those wires together blk/blk..wht 2 wht...ground to ground and then see if tub will stay on, if not suggest put back together and call qulified whirl pool tech to find short in pump motor.

Please rate. Thank you. jj505

Bathtub leakes when the drain plug is activated, no leak when not

This usually is caused by a detiorated O ring that compresses to make a watertight seal at the transistion points from them drain shoe and overflow tube to the trap adapter. However it may be the trap adapter as well. Either way the best solution is to access the tub waste from the wall behind the tub drain and replace the necessary parts. Your issue is showing up because the gallons per minute/hour rate that the tub drains is far greater than the tub valve is allowed to fill the tub. This causes a greater volume of water to fill the tub waste and as such the backpessure is greater as the entire volume of water in the trap weir must be evacuated as opposed to when the tub is not plugged and the valve is ran requiring the trap weir to evacuate gradually. Some tub wates are made of metal and may have developed holes in them but they generally form along the pathway the water uses to drain. Unfortunately the only real solution is gain access to the tub wate and replace the defective part. Thanks for using Fix Ya.
