Bathtub clogged. has a screw down drain cover and three under the drain things that hold the drain in. How di I take the cover off.

Shimmy two skinny screwdrivers between the drain cover and the bottom of the head of the screw and turn the screw counter clockwise slow . Two people, three screwdrivers, you will probably need to reset the prying scrdrvrs a couple times .

Few plumbing issues such as Dripping faucets. Running toilets. Leaky valves. Clogged bathtubs can be solved by our own trying few things.
1)Firstly lookout for what is causing blockage such as soap or hair inside the pipeline blocking water just pull it out from pipes.
2)Secondly use a plunger(Tool used by plumber to clear clog) pour some water in bathtub to cover the plunger block the overflow of water with rag.Place the plunger over drain pull up & down 5 to 6 times.
3)Lastly if still the clog is not cleared try out with snake a long flexible steel cable wound on a handle In a sink you just feed the snake down the drain, but on a bathtub you need to feed the snake down through the overflow plate opening. Start by feeding about 3 feet of the snake into the opening, turning it as you push it forward. You will feel some resistance as you work the snake through the trap under the drain, and the turning helps to move the head through the trap. The snake should either break up the clog by pushing its way through it, or your turning will hook the end of the snake onto the clog and you can pull it out.

After trying with above if still there is plumbing issue call sewer line repair services for help.

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you
lear a clogged (not stopped) sink or bathtub with a plunger:

1. If you have a dishwasher, pinch off the rubber dishwasher drain hose that leads to the garbage disposer using a clamp or locking pliers. If clearing a bathtub, remove the drain stopper and cover the overflow opening with a wet rag.
2. Remove the sink basket or tub stopper and clean any debris from the drain opening.
3. Fill the sink or tub with sufficient water to cover the plunger cup, usually about 2 inches. If you are working on a double sink, seal the other sink with a stopper so the plunger can create a vacuum.
4. Set the plunger on the drain opening and repeatedly pump it up and down, then pull away sharply to dislodge debris. Repeat if necessary.
5. Turn on warm or hot water to flush loosened debris from the drain.
6. If the clog remains, use an auger (see below) or an expansion nozzle (see below) to clear the drain.

Clear a clog using an auger:

1. Remove the stopper or strainer. If unable to do so, disassemble the drain trap (see below) and feed the auger directly through the pipe. Make sure you have a pail and rags nearby in case of a water spill.
2. Release the setscrew on the auger and begin feeding the cable into the open drain.
3. Once the auger tip hits the clog, set the screw and crank the auger clockwise to break up the clog.
4. Continue breaking up the clog and moving it down the drain line with the auger. Once there is no more resistance to forward motion of the auger, stop and carefully remove the auger.
5. If the clog can't be moved, continue twisting the auger to possibly snag and retract the clog.
6. Once the clog is cleared, flush the drain with boiling water.

There should be a screw holding down the cover. Have you tried Draino or similar product first?

Three things to inspect are:

1. Clogged drain hose - cause water to back up to the pump and shut down
2. Clogged drain tube - usually occurs when the drain hose is attached to a drain tube that empties out into the homes sewer system. Just like a clogged drain, water will back up all the way through the drain hose into the pump and shut down.
3. Clogged or bad drain pump - Many times, debris left in pockets will work it's way into the drain pump. Over time, enough debris (paper, coins etc) could lodge itself into the pump. When the machine tries to empty or spin out, the pump becomes overwhelmed and shuts down. Sometimes, you may even see a puddle of water appear under the washer due to a clogged pump. This can also happen if the pump itself is worn out and no longer working up to specifications.

Luckily, your drain pump is easily accessible. Placing a towel or blanket down, unplug the machine, disconnect the fill and drain hoses and gently turn the washer forward onto the towel or blanket. Only tools needed are a pair of pliers and a phillip head screwdriver. After removing the drain hose and the screw holding the pump in place, it should easily be removed so you can inspect for debris (a very common problem with F&P washers.
Best of luck with your repair.

Hello, Thank You for using FixYa. I will be helping you today.There is a chopper blade under the filter that can cause this if something got under there. If you remove the lower spray arm there are three screws you will see remove those and lift the cover out. Then there are screws holding the center down i think six of them remove them and lift out Under that are two more screws remove and lift filter out,Under that is where things get stuck and stop motor or cause loud noise.
Thank You and please rate my answer if it was helpful..

screw off chrome cover..should be a straight screw driver slot underneath it just unscrew it.

Likely the drain is clogged with hair. Most of these type of plugs will have a screw in the middle underneath the top plate that you will have to undo. Let me know if you need anything else.

No, not without sealing, I mean clogging, the drain. Do you know exactly where the leak is coming from? I would suspect that the water is getting around the drain, instead of down the drain. The visible part of the drain should unscrew from the part that is underneath. That bottom part is likely permanently sealed to your drain plumbing.
You may be able to easily fix your leak by:
#1 Unscrewing the visible drain top.
#2 Replacing the washer under that top. This will seal your tub to your drain. All water will then be forced to flow down the drain properly.
#3 Screw the top of your drain back into place WITHOUT folding or wrinkling the new washer.
Good luck

Run a short snake thru the line. Somewhere between the drain and the tee into the line with the sink is a clog.
