I have a 3 knob Kohler shower faucet in my bathroom. The hot water keeps turning and turning and doesn't stop. The water does turn on and off but it also keeps dripping. I have to play with it in order to prevent it from dripping as much as possible. How can I fix this? It is an older type Kohler that is really hard to find. Can anyone help?
Remove the stem and replace the washer, see the images, good luck.

I replaced the round washer that is held by the philips screw, but it still keeps turning. What else can be wrong? Thank you for your quick response John.
Remove the othere stem and try it on this one if it work then you need to replace the stem, Thanks.

Thank you John, but are there any other washers that I can replace? What would cause it to just keep turning and turning?
Try the stem first with out the nut see if sets inside then install the nut see what happens, some time the stem would not go insde the faucet.
Hot water knob will not cut water in or off
Hello Ubg,
This is almost 3 years old post please start a new one that it will have more visibilty and some one will respond to you, to answer your question you need to shut the water to the shower, remove the hot side stem check the washer and the seat inside the valve you may need to replace both, see the image below, Thanks.
Please help! I badly need the shower diverter stem for a set just like this. Would be thrilled to purchase an old one in usable condition.

If you go to plumbing supply house, they'll hook you up with a new one for less than 60 bucks. Show them picture of yours. An old nice one will just do the same thing to you in near future.Quote:
