Bathroom Shower Hose Issue

[Fred and Pattie]

Has anyone had this issue:  When the faucet is in sink mode, the water pressure is fine.  But when I place the faucet on the shower hook, the flow sometimes reduces significantly or shuts off completely until I pull the hose in and out a little.  Is there an easy fix or do I need Oliver service?

The hose is kinking under the sink when you pull it out. Be careful not to pull it out too far. It only just barely reaches our shower holder. I find it best to turn the faucet toward the shower holder before pulling the hose out.

I had the same problem after lengthening my hose to reach the toilet for better rinsing.  This was done by sliding the hose return weight further down, but it also caused kinks.  I used a spring from ACE hardware to prevent the kinks and haven't had a problem since.  The spring was 1/2" x 10", not a perfect fit but just narrower that the width of the kink,  That modification is described here:

The towel rack/soap dish on our 2015 LE2 was originally installed with silicone sealant. Don't know what year Ollie you have, later model LE2s towel rack/soap dish is installed with screws, but we had to remove sealant to get to the loose heat outlet hose and water pump LED where the shower hose is also located under the sink. We installed a U seal around the towel rack/soap dish and four screws when the towelrack/soap dish was reinstalled without using silicone sealant.
