Hot / Cold reversed on Kohler Shower Faucet

[cthiim]

Hello,

After a recent bathroom remodel, our new Kohler Shower Faucet seems to have cold / hot reversed. When turning faucet on, the water is immediately hot, then gets cold once you turn further clockwise. Not a big deal, but we are selling the house and the buyers wanted that fixed.

I thought I could flip the cartridge / mixer valve 180 degrees to fix this. I turned off water supply, removed handle, removed those two screws and the clip. I could not seem to remove the cartridge and the metal plate surrounding it. I attached some pictures.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks..

You have to remove the chrome plate, THEN remove the screws holding the mechanism in place. Rotate IT 180 degrees and put the screws back in.
