    Dude thank you so much! All the videos I was finding had complicated fixes or using dental floss but my was stuck so far down there was no way the dental floss could have helped. And as a renter I don’t want to mess with piping and be responsible for potential damages. Your solution was by far the easiest and quickest. My sink can finally drain thank you so much

    Tapping it plus moving the lever up and down fixed my problem! Thank you! 🙂 Also, the hole near the bottom of my drain plug was never threaded like it should've properly been done upon installation. But after me trying for 20-30 mins to fix that problem, I ended up not threading it because no matter how I adjusted the plug's height, the plug wasn't high enough to allow for timely water drainage. So, now I see why this wasn't done ten years ago when I bought this home!

    @@ThePunggolHandyMan And I just re-fixed the same drain using the combo of the video's technique and my aforementioned of moving the lever up and down! But THIS time, I added the step of cleaning the gunk off of the stopper (I'll probably run it through the dish washer) AND where the stopper makes contact around the edge of the drain. Hopefully my additional step will make the overall fix last longer.

    YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE! Five days ago I did something really stupid. I pushed the sink stopper down with too much force and it has been jammed shut since. I tried putting dish soap on it and sticking a knife blade around the edge with NO luck. I decided to try looking online and I watched your video. I used the end of a screwdriver handle. My first taps were to soft and did nothing, so I tapped it harder very rapidly and up it popped! You are a GENIUS!!!

    You can throw the whole assembly into hot 1:1 vinegar to decalcify. If there's no gasket, boiling it should remove the debris. WD40 is not meant for this, grease, preferably teflon grease is preferred. If it works, it should be bring back a few months or years of life.
