How do I unclog a Kohler one-piece toilet when liquid plumber will not do the job?

Thanks for your question.  Most toilet clogs are caused by
accumulations of paper products in the bowl’s narrow trap or by
miscellaneous items that accidentally fall into the toilet and get
stuck in the trap. I take it from your question that you have already
tried using a plunger, or plumber's helper, to unclog your toilet
since you have the step of using Liquid Plumber.  I would not
recommend plunging again as the Liquid Plumber is caustic and there
would be a chance of injury if the plunger should cause the water to
splash on you.

Your next option is to use a closet auger, commonly referred to as a
snake. You can see what these augers look like at Plumbertool.com,
http://plumbertool.com/catalog.asp?page=closet-auger. You should be
able to find an auger at plumbing supply, home improvement (Lowe's,
Home Depot, etc) or hardware stores.

When you get the auger, place auger bend in bottom of toilet drain
opening; push auger cable into trap. Crank auger handle clockwise to
get cable past trap. If the auger becomes hard to turn, pull it back a
little and try again. When auger tip hits clog, move auger from side
to side to break up clog. This should clear out the blockage and your
toilet should flush normally.

Thanks again for your question and if you need any additional
clarification, please let me know.

If the small snake doesn't work, the clog may be located down the sour
line, and you'll need to get a plumber (who will have a much bigger
and longer snake).

Random funny item regarding this.

Our toilet had been backing up for months. We plunged, we auger'd,
finally we called Roto Rooter. They snaked the main line to the house.
Still backing up. They come back the following week, do the same.
Still backing up. They come back the next day, remove the toilet, and
lo and behold, we've got a root growing up through the line into the
actual toilet. They yanked it out.

Toilet is perfect now.
