Why Is My Kohler Konnect Faucet Not Dispensing Water?
- Power interruption
- Solenoid valve issue

Problem Description
Your Kohler Konnect smart faucet is not dispensing water when activated by touch, motion, or voice commands, even though power is connected. This prevents basic faucet functionality and smart features.
Symptoms
- No water flow
- LED indicator off/red
- Faucet unresponsive
- Manual handle works
- App shows offline
- Happens after power outage
Recognize these? Here's what usually causes it.
Common Causes
- Power interruption
- Solenoid valve issue
- Sensor malfunction
- Wi-Fi disconnection
- Firmware glitch
- Water supply off
Most fixes happen in the first 3 steps.
Before working on any plumbing components, always turn off the main water supply to your house or the individual shut-off valves under the sink to prevent leaks and water damage.

Step-by-Step Solution
Check Power Supply
Ensure the control box (usually under the sink) is plugged into a working outlet and receiving power. Check for tripped GFCI outlets. If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, ensure the switch is in the ON position.

Unplug the control box from power for at least 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow a few minutes for the control box to reboot and re-establish its connection. This can resolve temporary electronic glitches affecting water dispensing.
Verify Water Supply
Ensure both the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink are fully open. Also, check if the main water supply to your house is turned on. Sometimes, a partially closed valve can restrict water flow.
Inspect Solenoid Valve
Locate the solenoid valve on the control box (it"s typically a cylindrical component with wires). When you activate the faucet (e.g., by waving your hand), listen closely for a faint click from the solenoid. If you don"t hear a click, the solenoid might be faulty or not receiving power.
Check for Obstructions or Kinks
Inspect the water lines leading to and from the control box for any kinks, bends, or obstructions that could restrict water flow. Ensure the spray head is not clogged; try removing it and testing the flow directly from the hose.
Quick Solutions
Still having issues? This is usually the deeper cause below.
If this comes back after following these steps, check whether a recent app or firmware update reset a default setting — the fix works, but the setting gets reverted silently.
Regularly check the LED indicator on the control box for its status, as it provides quick diagnostic information about power and connectivity.
Battery-related failures are almost always flagged too late — the device degrades silently for days before the app catches up to what's actually happening.
