On my bath tub the hot water handle well just trun what do i need to do to get the water to come out?

Sometimes there is a small set screw at the base of the handle that comes undone. Look to see if one exists and see if you can tighten it. Hope that helps.On my bath tub the hot water handle well just trun what do i need to do to get the water to come out?
Washingtonstreet probably hit it. It's a good chance the handle is stripped. You'll need to remove and replace it. There might be a trim piece in the center that hides an attaching screw as well as the set screw washington referred to. Worst case is the stem is broken or stripped. Thats a little more involved but doable. Check the handle first.On my bath tub the hot water handle well just trun what do i need to do to get the water to come out?
Tighten the center screw. It that doesn't work remove it and the handle %26amp; see which part is stripped. If it is the handle go to the hardware %26amp; buy a new one. Take the old with you.





If it is the stem of the faucet %26amp; you aren't handy call a plumber or a friend.





Good Luck.
Hire a plumber? Perhaps?
Handle or stem definately stripped. Pop the cap off (If it has one) with your fingernail or a flathead, unscrew the screw in the center. Remove the handle. Open the tap with pliers til you can get a replacement handle.
