HI buy some draino put it down the drain remove the water first , then add draino should work then

look for a small hole in the bottom of the faucet handle,, it holds a allen type or a slotted screw for retaining the handle,, ( more than likely on a moen or Kohler its going to be a allen head,) ,, remove that and your handle should come off

replace the cartridge and you will be fine. yo can fine them at most large store that sell plumbing supplys.

They cost about 50.00 not hard to change out

Thanks

Tom

you need a new cartridge is bad and sounds like some junk is inside. You might have lime and even a broken part inside.

I dont think you will be able to fix it this weekend. It is hard to fine parts, if you check your local stores that sell pluming parts they :MIGHT" have the one that fits yours.

I have ot say one nite I had a person where I could not get the parts, but they had the same faucet. So I got the set, took the parts out, got new part fixed like new and took it back.

You go where you have to in talking care of your clients.

Be safe and take care.

you have an other part that went bad. Inside the faucet there ins a part called a devertot that is in the body of the faucet. This little part move the water from the main spout to the hand held sprayer.

You have to remove the handle and the spout. pop it out pop a new one in and you are good to go.

Glad you came to us for help. your rating us help us know how well we have done

You need to take the handle off and remove the cariridge and then place a food grade lube on all the moving parts. The replace the parts as you took them off.

You may fine your going to have to replace the cartridge after you remove the old one. So just dont do it at a time when the store are not open. Unless you have valves under the sink faucet

Best of luck

He needs a handle puller. Once the screw is removed the handle puller has a long point on it that goes into where the screw was and then the outside of the handel puller clamps around the handle. You then turn the T part of the puller and up come the handle with no damage

Best of luck Rich

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.

faucet needs new gaskets and springs located below the handle. remove handle, loosen collar nut and remove, pull cartridge out straight up, remove gaskets and springs, take to local Home Depot and buy new and replace. install cartridge, install collar nut, install handle. All finished.

There are several things that could be causing you trouble. If you have a pop up drain then you can loosen the nut that holds the lift rod to the stopper and pull the plug out to see if there is a build up of hair causing the slow draining. If so try to remove it or use a drain cleaning product to dissolve it. If you can find it I have had good results using a product called Glug or double agent. They both work well on hair or grease build up. Just follow instructions on container as they both can cause eye or skin irritation. If you can't get it opened up you can remove the p-trap and clean it.If you still have problems you can purchase a cheap hand crank drain cleaner and try to run it into drain line. Most of these are under twenty dollars and may have 15-25 foot 1/4 cables on them.Good luck and thank you.

on most tubs the stopper is made to come out! does the stopper have 2 screws at the stopper lever. if it does just remove these screws and pull the stopper out slowly. when putting in a new one. have the same length as the old one, then slide it back in the drain fairly slow until it goes all the way in. replace screws and try it! good-day!

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.

some Faucet had a safty lock and kad to be turned to the right or left over the base plate before the would come up. then they can still be tuff do to inturnal corrosion that is the best that i can remember. have not had on for about 15 years.

if you look under neath your vanity you will see where the plunger goes into the drain pipe. remove it and see if your activator rod is there, if so this is what screws into the plug end. if it is not there remove your U section and see if it is in there and reattach it. if it is broken you will have to get a repair kit at your local hardware store.

there wil probably be a tiny grub screw, that requires a small hex key to tighten it up

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...

Try to look for a small cover, or small hole. Back inside this should be an allen screw

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.

Remove the cap and expose the screw. Unscrew and remove handle. If it is stuck on you can buy a faucet handle puller at any hardware store for 8 - 15 dollars.

look for a tiny hole in the back or inside of the handle assembly,, your going to need a very small allen wrench to loosen that inset screw
