Home Improvement Asked by Brian Gradin on August 16, 2021
A while back, I was running my kitchen faucet while the the dishwasher was on. While the dishwasher was filling up, there was a sudden spike in pressure in my pipes, and the faucet cut off. Ever since then, I can only turn my kitchen faucet about halfway on – it works normally up until that point, but then suddenly cuts off, and won’t come back on until you completely turn off the faucet for several seconds.
I was able to disassemble the valve completely, but I can’t figure out what the problem could be – everything looks ok (or at least not obviously broken) and nothing appears clogged.
How can I troubleshoot this? The faucet is a Kohler single lever faucet, if that helps.
Where the water comes out, see if there is a part to unscrew. Take it off and test again. This part can jam under higher flow/pressure.
Feel free to edit this to put in the correct name (aerator?)

Another thing to look for is a cartridge in the faucet. I had a large corner tub that we couldn't turn on the water full blast, meaning it took pert near an hour to fill up to usable levels. Changed out the cartridge that fixed it.
