Why does my faucet still run when it's turned off even after I changed the washer and O ring?

If it is a full stream, you put the cartridge in reversed. If it is just a drip, you may need to polish the bottom of the cartridge where it contacts the new cup. The metal plate on the cartridge can rust or have mineral build up on it. If it is the older style with a flat washer on the end of the stem, sometimes the seat the washer closes against can be pitted.

My tub faucet is turned off but water still falls what can it be?
Depending on which type it is, it either need a new washer or seat in the valve. The washer is a flat rubber disk that seals when you turn the faucet off and the seat is a small rubber cup that does the same thing.
I completely close my shower faucet but the cold water still runs it is a two tap faucet and it is just a shower not a shower bath combination what is going on?
Proably the faucet has a worn out washer, replacing the washer should fix the problem.
What could the the cause of water to quit flowing to washer machine it is not the inlet screens or the washer only way to get water back is to turn off at main then turn on a faucet?
This is just a guess. If only the hot or the cold stops and not both of them, it might be that the washer in the shut off valve has come off and is plugging the line. When you shut off the main and then open another faucet, the back pressure in the line pushes the washer out. If this is the case, the washer should still be in the shut off valve. Turn off the main and take the stem out of the faucet. The washer should be the valve.
How do you turn off the faucet?
If you have one that won't turn off, the rubber washer has disintegrated. Take it apart and look. It is almost always the rubber washer. If you are still not sure, get the name off it and go to HD, ask for the 'repair kit' for that faucet, there will be parts and a diagram. -$5-8.

I wired into the 20A washer breaker for additional outlet plug for a 15A air compresser but when the washer is turned on the breaker is thrown why and the compressor is not on?
Could be anything at fault. Unplug the compressor and try using your washer. If it works, then you have a fault with your compressor. If it still doesn't work, do what should have been done in the first place: call an electrician.
Can you disconnect the sprayer and still use the faucet?
If the sprayer hose screws onto the faucet, you can get a cap for that fitting. If it pushes into the faucet, I do not believe there is any plug available for that type. You have to have something on the hose fitting or water will come out when you turn the faucet on.

You need to check your hot/cold handles or the shower spicket. Not sure what type you have, but they come off. More than likely you need to just replace a gasket..
