I have ZERO water coming out of my kitchen sink faucet
l have all pressure on the sprayer on sink faucet.All pressure in both
bathrooms and outside spickets and washroom faucet are fine.l have checked
for kinks in plumbing under kitchen sink.l am stumped. What can my problem
be??
Dave got it right. my guess is the aerator
Damn right! don't bother with the valves, don't go under the
sink.
it can be one of two things.
1) THE AEREATOR IS PLUGGED. (this is my guess) unscrew it from the end of
the spout, turn on ur faucet & see if you have water. if you do, then wash out the aereator, screw it back on. if not. 2) It has to be the deverter that controls the water from the spout to the spray. if it is this, you have to shut off the water, take the whole spout loose, & somewhere under where the spout was is a little spray deverter, pull it out, take it to the hardware store & replace it. good luck dave journeyman plumber
The aerator is clogged. It is at the end of the faucet
discharge. Unscrew it and clean the screen.
On the end of the faucet is a little screen inside the airator.
Unscrew it, and clean it out.
There is a valve usually somewhere under the faucet or even in
the basement. Sometimes, they loosen or lose effectiveness because of the
pressure of water that may be entering the pipes. Especially if you have a
dishwasher feeding off the same pipe.
If you have water flow to the faucet then there may be a
blockage of some sort in the faucet. Take the faucet off and examine for
junk in it.
Check to make sure the valve is open to the kitchen sink
faucet.
Plugged line to the sink or the valve under the sink is stuck
shut even tho the handle says it is open.
It is possible that the water company is working on the water
lines in the street, and have shut the water off.
