how can I remove the handle from a Bosch kitchen faucet ? no hot water – want to check if a clogged screen.?

by Water Heaters on May 18, 2010

after replacing hot water heater, i have no hot water in kitchen. all other faucets have hot water. faucet is 2 handle with one water spout.
Made a mistake….it is a Grohe faucet. a two handle/one hole Classic style. Has TDL handles which i can’t remove ???? have hot water to dishwasher just none to kitchen faucet….cold is fine.

Check underneath your sink. There should be atl east 2 angle stops. Angle stops are what the pipes connect to and have a turning knob for shuting off the water or turning on the water. From the angle stops should be a braided stainless steel flex hose or a solid smaller diameter sized pipe that goes from the angle stop to the faucet. If you put your hand on the outside of this and turn on the hot water you will feel it get hot. Try it first on a sink that works to get famliar with it (hot on the left-usally). Bosch also has atoll free phone number to call. Or go back to where you got it to more information.

If you still don’t have hot water to that angle stop call who ever did your water heater and get them back to the jobsite for more information. And if you do have hot water to the angle stop, make sure the hot isn’t hooked up to the cold supply and the cold isn’t hooked up to the hot supply. Then if it isn’t that, it is the faucet and you can either take it apart down to the stem valve or exchange where you bought it. If you have never changed a stem vlave, make sure you are good at taking things apart with allen keys and small screwdiver and a pair of pliers or adjustable wrench. Or get more information from Bosch and place you got it from.

Bosch is high end so it tends to be more technical and difficult. Same with the dishwashers.

There should only be one screen at the end of the fountain and that one usually screws off. If the screen is clogged tough you wouldn’t have any water flow, if you have water flow then turn on the hot water and grab the water line to make sure its hot. If it is then the problem is internal and it would probably be easier and cheaper to just go buy another faucet. If the water line is not hot then you need to follow the hot water line until it starts to get hot and assess the problem from there. Make sure the hot water valve for that faucet is turned on. This will usually be found somewhere in the hot water line usually within two feet of the sink probably right where the pipe disappears into the floor or back wall. GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS!!
