Very little cold water, lots of hot from kohler shower valve
Probably some pipe rust clogged the exit. If u have pretty low pressure on one or both, hot and cold water, try keep force closed by hand the water exit at shower pipe, then start both cold and warm water gradually as much as u can keep it closed with the hand.The pressure of the water will try "escape thru the clogged pipe and hopefully unlock that debris or rust!The hot water pressure going back thru the cold water pipe might unclog that debris.Just a simple fix which many times works as a charm..Otherwise if this is not fixing, try close both water from main service valve. Then unscrew the secondary shower valves and manually clean them or replace if very damaged.

Hose burst under stink
It is highly unlikely that the faucet failed; it's far more likely the feed tube between the water pipe and the faucet burst. If your faucets were installed 5 years ago, it's likely that they were installed with flexible feed tubes. Reach up under the faucet and unscrew the feed tube, then unscrew the feed tube from the cutoff valve on the water pipe. Take the burst tube to Home Depot and get a new one - it should cost $10 or so. (I would also recommend picking up a small tube of thread seal - it'll look like a travel tube of toothpaste and cost about $3.) Lightly coat the threads of the faucet connection with thread seal and screw the feed pipe onto the faucet as tight as you can with your hand. Do the same at the cutoff valve end with a wrench but do not over tighten. Once both ends are firmly connected, turn the cutoff valve on and check for leaks. If you find any, try to tighten the connections a bit. If you're uncomfortable with any of this, I'm sure there's a DIYer like me in your neighborhood who'd be glad to help out. It's easy and it's quick once you've done it a couple times. Good luck!
Kohler K-16109-4 Revival Kitchen faucets
There is definitely a problem with the cold valve if it is leaking, but it seems odd that it doesn't leak when it is on. If I was doing this, I would replace both valves.

Stuck screw
They make an extraction tool called a grabitz
It's a double ended tool which has sort of drill on one end and an ez-out on the other. Use the drill end first then the other with drill in reverse usually will come right out. And put some grease on the new screw before installation and won't have that problem next time
How to stop sink leak
Check whether the faucet is leaking or the drainage is leaking.
If the faucet is leaking, you need tools to loosen the faucet to check whether the hoses are leaking or not. If the drainage is leaking, you can tighten the slip nut.
My Kohler cistern (Kohler Code 1764A-0) overflows
Cut the water off (just to keep from wasting water), remove the float and see if water has leaked into the float so that it became too heavy to rise with the water and turn the water off.
Everything else works because you can lift the float and shut off the water. The valve could be sticking in which case, replace or remove and lube with a bit plumber's silicon.
Faucet leaks
not much can be done to repair it
you can try a new unit and ask for a warranty refund on the one you have
Kohler 3810 toilet wom't flush
Check and see if the handle or the chain inside the tank is broken. If it is, find out the make and model and get replacement. There are many different types of handles out there. Some universal handles won't work, so bring the handle with you when you buy a new one..
