faucet
Author: sl21567 (CO) I have a vanity in my bathroom. The faucet for the cold water only produces a trickle. All my other faucets work fine, both hot and cold. This problem came up all of a sudden. Any ideas?

Re: faucet
Author: packy (MA) shut water under the sink. remove the faucet guts.. hold something over the open faucet and turn the water back on to see if you have water. if not then the problem is either debris in the faucet or some thing wrong with the shutoff. could be debris in the shutoff or the washer could have a problem. if you do have pressure the problem is in the faucet.
