Trouble Shooting Chart Problem Cause Solution Valve will not pass water. Both hot and cold water supplies are not turned on. Turn on both supplies. Valve will not operate unless both hot and cold water pressure is on. Valve leaks when shut off. Hot and cold washers are worn or foreign matter (dirt, chips) is lodged between washers and seat surfaces. 1) Replace washers using control spindle washer repair kit, p/n TA-9. 2) Replace hot & cold seats using hot/cold seat repair kit, p/n TA-4.
