Some force, yes, but not a lot. Make sure knob is out far enough.Initially it turns tight but after water is in it it will turn easier. You can take the knob all the way off and use a pliers to turn if you aren't sure how far to pull out the knob.
You have to unscrew the main screw quite a bit. then slide the knob out a bit and then turn firmly.
If the dial will not turn you must loosen the screw about half way to be able to turn it. Hope this helps Dale
The screw keeps the temperature locked in place by preventing the knob from being turned. Loosen the screw, pull back on the knob and it should turn.
you *do not* need to loosen the center screw on the handwheel to turn the valve, on older model designs (the screw on these designs is about 1/4 inch long), however on newer model designs, you *do* need to loosen the center screw to about 1/2 inch of thread exposed, then pull the handle out a little and you'll be able to change the water temperature. (the screw on newer designs is about 3/4 inch long) i have an older and newer design valve and this lock-out feature to change the temperature operates differently. the older designs don't have a lock out to change.
Part AM-1-025RP is listed as the repair kit for this unit.
