Replacing Kohler Mix Kit Cartridge in a Bathtub/shower faucet. If you have trouble with no hot, or only hot/only cold try replacing just the pressure balance unit. (In this case it is Kohler Pressure Balancing Unit GP500520.)
Cleaning a Bathtub Drain with a lift-and-turn stopper
Переглядів 940 тис.16 років тому
If your bathtub drain is slowing down, it just might be a clump of hair caught on the tub's lift-and-turn stopper. Cleaning the drain regularly may help avoid a truly clogged drain. It isn't hard to do once you know how. Be sure to read through the comments, there are many versions of this stopper and others have described how to remove their variation. I try to like comments that offer helpful...

Fisher & Paykel clothes washer will not go past wash cycle and does not seem to be draining properly. In part 1 of this series we'll analyze the problem and find the "hidden manual." See part 2 when we take out the diverter valve. In part 3 we check our work.
Do you still do YT?
Thanks for the info. I did mine in 5 mins
"Pie" kel, not "Pay" kel
Thank you! Just what I was looking for. I have a new tub and it was never explained to me how to unscrew this so I could clear a slow draining tub.
But mine has a tiny brass m, unusual shape washer inside the top screw that won’t fit back inside
Thank you
Mines is stuck and can’t remove it
I've still got my GWL11-US going and have been getting diverter valve errors after the first wash cycle/light. I've been putting off replacing it as I can just power it off and restart the wash cycle and off it goes just fine. I'm wondering if something got caught in there, but did buy a new one. This video was a great help to understand where exactly it is. Many thanks.

Thanks so much!! Saved me a plumbing bill😀
The shredded plastic has more than likely blocked the diverter valve.
Just tried this n there not a slot for the screw driver to turn it with. What do I use?
This was helpful -- but the central shaft on mine was too narrow for a typical flat head screwdriver and very stuck! I managed to finally grab an adjustable 6" wrench and get it loose after trying all my screwdrivers and even a drill lol. A few tiny pieces of soap got lodged in my drain, as it turns out along with a wad of hair (of course)--now it's running great again. thanks!!
14 years later, this video is STILL helpful! I checked my motor now, tomorrow I’m checking the diverted valve. Thank you for this!
No power or lights
thank goodness for a solution.
The tech sheet doesn't detail it ... but the diverter can be operated in diagnostics with the Delicate button. Press it On to engage the diverter (recirculate mode), press it Off to disengage (drain mode). The diverter operates by heating wax which expands inside a closed cylinder to extend a piston for moving the valve, takes a minute or so to heat and shift to recirculate. Up to 3+ mins to cool enough for the return spring to recompress the wax to retract the piston back to drain. Run the pump to confirm which direction is the flow, that the valve is shifting properly. The procedure is stated service info for earlier model GWL10, the first model with a diverter for recirculation. Service techs presumably are supposed to be aware of it.
A good advice if you can turn off the water from your house. That way you can do everything that you need to do and once you're finished you can turn it back on
Thanks bro! Appreciate vid!
I could have sworn my drain hose was plugged … until I saw your video! Sure enough, the diverter valve was plugged with (mostly) Aspen shavings that had turned into goo with the water. After ten minutes of cleaning the valve, the washer runs again - 14 years and counting! Thanks 😊
Will this cause a code 37 ?
awesome you got us a gresat video and we are now also up and ruuning ! Thanks !!!
My washer threw a code 37 which means it can't drain. Pump was clean and worked fine. The problem was two coins, a penny and a dime lodged in the u-shaped transfer hose! They made it through the pump but got caught in the rubber hose. Thanks for posting your videos!
Thanks Luis. Saved me so much time and I couldn't find this model anywhere else on the web.
fair go mate,, focus ur potatoe!!!
That is nothing like the assembly in my 2000 outback. Looks like a good video though.
Mine fill out and drain at the same time. What could it be?
Your a lifesaver!!!!!!! Just got mine clean.
I’m afraid to find dead mice in mine. 😰
Thanks for doing this... I've been trying you figure that thing out for awhile! Thank you, thank you!
Thanks! I was scared of breaking the drain
what do u do when it just spins and no mater what you do it wont come off, it looks like the top spinning part ontop fused together with the main body with rust.. (could be wrong dono)
Thanks
I have a 11 year old fisher paykel eco washer that has had the diverter valve replaced twice. I don't know why it keeps failing. There is never anything lodged in them. It seems as if the actuator on the diverter just burns out. When the new diverter is replaced it works for a couple of years then just does not drain. If the board or wiring was faulty the diverter would cease sooner. So, I can safely say that the diverters are problematic.
I just want satisfying videos
I had a exactly same washing machine, but one thing I found odd was there’s no a net in the center of the machine like Simpson has, why is that? So how can it catch loose fabric or unwanted dirt, etc.?
Why does your fnpaykel machine fill for a sec then beep
Ok so 3 bolts to remove is all l need to know thanks
almost 11 years since you posted this video and still very much up to date I think for this type of machine. Great work, and great series of videos. No doubt this video has helped many people and saved them a lot of money!
Where can I get a copy of that manual? My gwl-11 didn't come with a manual. Thanks
I have a Delta system with a drop stopper. The top part that you unscrewed, is attached, as in one piece with the stopper part. So as you can tell by my comment this what you McCall it video does not work with my thingamajig drain stopper
You bloody legend! Thank you so much! I’d always looked at mine and thought it was gonna be so much more complicated. I jus dropped the oil and changed the filter too - it was heaps easier and cheaper than expected. Feel like an idiot for neglecting to change the oil earlier :P
When the what machine is draining the water converts right back into the wash machine what’s the problem
I especially love the part where your fucking fingers are blocking the buttons to push in diagnostic mode love the camera angle.
Thank you so much!
I'm so grateful for this! I found the other half of a safety pin and everything else it snagged along the way! My warrantee is out and I'm a single mother, so this diy repair was HUGE for me...thanks again!
How do you turn off Diagnostic mode?
I needed this so badly. I've never had a lift-and-turn drain and my tub was so slow. This helped! Thanks so much!
Thanks for vid unfortunately I couldn’t fine this vid no mater how I worded . I pulled out pump and tried and blew out my control board so now that I know I can do a dig mode will try again when board gets in . I will clean out diverter vale while I’m waiting .
