    Water drips from shower hot water handle
    Water continues to drip out of the hot water knob in our shower. When we turn the knob it doesn't turn it off. We took the knob cover off and it appears that the water is leaking around the inside area where the knob connects to turn water off. We tightended it mannually and it continues to leak. Not sure what to do now. HELP

    It is easy fix: take channel locks and tighten the bonnet nut. This nut squeezes packing seal that is hidden under neath. Give it 1/4" turn and that should do. Reinstall handle and you are back in business...
