Today the tub refuses to drain, even a little
bit. I tried the following and none worked;

1) plunger (while trying to block the overflow
hole)
2) taking the thingy out the switches from shower
to tub mode
3) snaking the drain by hand, both from the drain
and the overflow hole
4) vinegar and baking powder
5) boiling water


None are working! Any other ideas?

I've had some luck with the garden hose. Stick the end down the drain.
Wrap it with a rag to form a seal. Cover the overflow with another rag
and hold securly. Turn on the water and see if it clears the
obstruction. There is some risk of overpressuring the drain and
causing a leak if the pipe is weak somewhere.
