Robert Jones Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 Kitchen faucet handle won't stay "on". Keeps falling back to the off position. Guessing a faulty ring or something like that. Anyone have to fix this type of handle before? Click to Enlarge 37.37 KB
hausdok Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 Probably needs a bebuild kit. OT - OF!!! M.
gtblum Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 I suggest you have this further evaluated by a qualified, certified, licensed, plumbing contractor, with extensive knowledge of faulty fixtures.
Robert Jones Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Posted January 6, 2013 Not the punt Gary. And Mike, what's a bebuild kit?
kurt Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 He was making a boilerplate joke. All of the cheap fixtures need service or bebuilding every year or so; that's likely what this one needs.
Robert Jones Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Posted January 6, 2013 I know, was just busting Gary's sack a bit. I was thinking it might be an easy DIY thing. Not so much?
Chad Fabry Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 Robert, does your wife know that you posted a picture of your sink filled with dirty dishwater on the internet? Just rebuild it.
Robert Jones Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Posted January 6, 2013 Well, since you mentioned that Chad. I will explain the nasty water thing. My wife decided to cram all of the end of week fridge leftovers into the disposal(disposer). We are now clogged! I guess I could have blacked that out huh!
gtblum Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 Robert, does your wife know that you posted a picture of your sink filled with dirty dishwater on the internet? Just rebuild it. Now, that's funny. Robert, didn't you have that place inspected before you bought it?
Robert Jones Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Posted January 7, 2013 By the best inspector I know:)
Erby Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 Go to the faucet manufacturer's website and get a rebuild kit sent to you. Did mine a couple of months ago. Took all of about 20 minutes. Model # might be on the back of the faucet handle. Mine was. Had to look at it from the other side of the counter.
ericwlewis Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 or hire a plumber to do it for you....$175.00?
hausdok Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 Last one I did myself. I went down to the hardware department in the local department store, found the rebuild kit I needed on the shelf, took it home and put it in. The kit cost me about $10 and it took me fifteen minutes to install. The kit even included an allen wrench to disassemble the unit with. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike
