 p.fister kitchen faucet
Author: plumboy (LA)

I have a 3 year old pf kitchen faucet. The top part of the faucet (spigot) will no longer turn from left to right. Is there an easy fix for this. Is it possibly under warranty. Thank you.

The spout will likely need to be removed and any O-rings replaced and lubricated.

Sometimes even replacement of the spout o-rings and lubrication still does not restore smooth swivelling of the spout and the only solution is replacement of the faucet.

If the finish is intact, a cleaning with white vinegar, replacement of the o-rings, and a liberal coating of plumbers grease between the surfaces should restore it to good working order. If the finish on the faucet is corroding, I would replace it as opposed to wasting time and money on it.
