How to remove the handle from a kohler faucet?
Once you have removed the screw from the handle, you may be able to gently pull the handle away from the valve. Some handles may have a small set screw on the side that needs to be loosened first. If the handle does not easily come off, gently tap it with a soft rubber mallet or use a handle puller tool to carefully remove it. If the handle is still stuck, consult the manufacturer's instructions or a plumber for further assistance.

Why does touchless water faucet only work when other faucet turned on?
It's possible that the solenoid valve in the touchless faucet is not functioning properly, and needs to be replaced. Another possibility is that there is a loose or broken wire in the electrical circuit that powers the solenoid valve. You may want to check the connections and wiring, and consult a plumber or electrician if necessary, to help diagnose and repair the issue.

Water flow is low on WR Kitchen Faucet.
i'm guessing ...but... take it off ..take it to the outside faucet or water hose hold the hose end tight on the faucet outlet and turn it on to back flush it what went in should come out .. but have you checked the screen on the spicket (where the water comes out) that usually unscrews an you will see a screen inside there that can get clogged in addition to several plastic aerator bits that can get clogged and this is a LOT easier than removing the faucet and back flushing it ..

The clip on my push pull faucet is frozen and will not move up or down any idea how I can get it to move. Thanks
- Try applying a penetrating oil such as WD-40 to the clip and moving it back and forth to help loosen any rust or debris that may be causing it to stick.
- Use a pair of pliers or a small wrench to gently grip the clip and try to move it up and down. Be careful not to apply too much force, as you don't want to damage the faucet.
- If the clip is still stuck, you may need to remove the faucet handle and access the clip from the inside. Depending on the design of your faucet, this may require removing a setscrew or using a special tool to access the clip.

American Standard Kitchen Faucet Low water flow
I had the same issue with an American Standard faucet that I installed new 6 months ago. The diverter can be the issue if you have a sprayer attachment. Try unscrewing the sprayer head from the hose it's attached to. Now run the water full pressure with the hose pointed into the sink, obviously :~). After running the water for about 1 minute, connect the sprayer head back onto the hose, make certain the flat rubber washer and ring gaskets are seated in their grooves properly, and tighten until you have no water leaking from the sprayer head/hose connection. Now try the water through the faucet. If the problem was a temporary diverter issue, your pressure should be fine now. Good luck
