5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your KOHLER Tone faucet, review the following common troubleshooting steps. For problems not resolved here, contact Kohler customer service.

Common Issues:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the water supply valves under the sink are fully open. Inspect the aerator for mineral buildup and clean if necessary.
• Leaking Faucet: Ensure all connections are tight. While ceramic disc valves are designed to be leak-free, persistent leaks may indicate a need for professional inspection or replacement of internal components.
• Water Temperature Issues: Verify that both hot and cold water supply lines are connected correctly and that the water heater is functioning properly.
• Drain Not Sealing: Check the clicker drain for any obstructions or debris that might prevent a proper seal. Ensure the drain assembly is correctly installed.
