How To Repair A Separated Bathroom Sink Stopper Eng/Esp Cómo reparar un tapón de lavabo de baño separado

English:

Hello DIYers! I'm back with another easy plumbing fix today because the rod that opens and closes the bathroom sink stopper came detached from the mechanism underneath the sink and so it wouldn't work. But it's easy to fix, so let's get to it!

When it's come undone, look underneath the sink and you should see something like this. That metal rod hanging straight down and the metal part that is flopped over to the side are what need to come together.

So you slide the rod into the holes at the top of the wider metal part, and turn that screw (it has a tab so you can do it with your fingers and don't need a screwdriver) that holds them in place to make it stay put. Now you see why it's so easy to pull out - it's literally just held in place by tension from that screw pressing on it.

And that's it! Now it works, I can open and shut the stopper from the top again. Told you it was easy! :)

¡Hola aficionados al bricolaje! Regresé con otra solución de plomería fácil hoy porque la varilla que abre y cierra el tapón del lavabo del baño se desprendió del mecanismo debajo del lavabo y no funcionaba. Pero es fácil de arreglar, ¡así que vamos a hacerlo!

Cuando se haya deshecho, mire debajo del fregadero y debería ver algo como esto. Esa barra de metal que cuelga hacia abajo y la parte de metal que se deja caer hacia un lado es lo que debe unirse.

Así que deslizas la varilla en los orificios en la parte superior de la parte metálica más ancha y giras ese tornillo (tiene una pestaña para que puedas hacerlo con los dedos y no necesitas un destornillador) que los mantiene en su lugar para hacerlo. quedarse quieto. Ahora ve por qué es tan fácil de sacar: literalmente se mantiene en su lugar por la tensión de ese tornillo que lo presiona.

¡Y eso es! Ahora funciona, puedo abrir y cerrar el tapón desde arriba nuevamente. ¡Te dije que era fácil! :)
