Kohler K-2972-KS-NA mixer valve

[SteveJ1703]

Hi, I just completed the install of a Kohler K-2972-KS-NA mixer valve. It seems to work fine, except that when rotate the lever there is a soft "click" at a certain point. Could it be a cartridge problem? Or something else? Any ideas how to fix it? Many thanks indeed for your help, guys.

Welcome Steve. With my OCD, I'd pull it apart, check for any burrs, then re-grease and re-insert.

That is normal. The click is the calibrated shower temp, should be about 104°-105°. Continuing to turn will let the water get hotter if desired. Water should not be able to get hotter than 120°.
