Kitchen faucet doesn't work but dishwasher does?
Possibly unscrew your aerator at the end of the spout and see if the screen is clogged. Blow it out and rescrew the aerator on. If that isn't the problem, sometimes things get caught in the spout. Unscrew the spout and turn the water on. If there is water coming from there and not out the spout when it is hooked up, the spout is plugged. If no water coming out when the spout is off, rehook spout and change cartridges or stems in the faucet AFTER shutting the water off. Depends on the brand of faucet, check the instructions for the brand and model. Also your kitchen dishwasher and sinks are run on seperate valves. The dishwasher valve is usually under the sinks (causing the water to go to the dishwasher first) the valve that was installed for the sink (before the dishwasher) may be bad too.
I am replacing th wall surrond on my bathtub. How do I remove the faucet?
They generally screw on. Make sure the water supply is turned off. The spout should unscrew by turning counter-clockwise. Look for screws on the plate of the faucet, or remove the center cap on the faucet (pops out) and remove the screws.
Why is there no water coming out of sink faucet in bathroom but tub faucet works?
The shut off valve under the sink, the faucet itself, or most likely, the screen in the end of the spout is plugged. If neither hot or cold is coming out, it is kind of unlikely both shut off valves and both sides of the faucet would go bad at the same time. The screen being clogged would stop any water from coming out. The screen just unscrews out of the spout.
How do you replace the valve in a Moen shower single handle faucet The faucet was installed in 2004. When you turn the handle to the left for hot the water stops. Hot water is present in the sink?
Turn the water off to the faucet. Remove the handle. The top of the faucet should unscrew to get to the ball valve. Replace the valve and gaskets then reassemble the faucet.
Should a brand new high arch kitchen faucet drain the spout after the tap is turned off?
I just installed an American Standard kitchen faucet and it continues to run for a second or two after turning the handle. I called AS and they said it is because of the high arch and the location of the stop valve lower in the fixture. I think it may have more to do with this being a lower end kitchen faucet. During a bathroom remodel we installed a high arch Pegasus bathroom faucet and, while it is admittedly not at high as the kitchen faucet, it stop immediately and doesn't continue to run/drop at all. When I removed the Pegasus faucet filter at the spout, it behaves just like the kitchen faucet, so there's some sort of stop valve element at the spout of the Pegasus that isn't part of the AS faucet.
Why is water not coming from outside faucet?

Why would a kitchen Faucet run for a second when turned off?

Why is the hot water pressure in your kitchen sink low but the cold water pressure is normal and as of last night both were equal and the hot water shut off valve under the sink does not shut off?
If the shut off valve turns but does not shut the water off, the washer in it has split and probably made it to the faucet. It was blocking part of the hole on the hot side and at some point either shifted or made it through the faucet and in in the screen in the end of the spout. Shut the main water off and replace the washer in the shut off valve.
What causes periodic low water pressure or volume in my kitchen faucet?
Probably sediment in the valve or the screen in the end of the spout. A piece moving around and sometimes blocking the flow and then falling back when you turn it off. Try taking the screen off the spout and see if that helps. The end unscrews and wil have a screen and aerator in it.
Why will WATER NOT COME OUT OF MY FAUCET?
The water meter is shut off? The main water line is shut off? The valve for that faucet is turned off? The waterline is made of galvanized piping and has corroded shut? Aerator is clogged, remove and clean or replace.
How do you raise the height of an outdoor water faucet?
To raise the height of an outdoor water faucet, the best thing to do would be to get an extension for the existing pipe that will bring the faucet to the height desired. Remember to turn off the source of the outdoor faucet before starting this project. Remove the faucet valve, screw in the new pipe, replace the faucet valve. Sealing the ends of the new pipe with plumber's tape is also a good idea.
