My kitchen faucet has just started humming when the water is on (both hot and cold, regardless). This faucet is only 1 month old and cost us a pretty penny($240). I installed it myself which was very easy, but I'm not a plumbing handyman by any means. Do I need to oil something? Is there a gasket that needs to be tightened :confused:

Well, it's for sure something's loose in there and vibrating. That's where the noise comes from. Since the valve's new you can furnish me with the make and model number so I can look it over. Regards, Tom

Ok, here's a link to it.

That's all the info I could find. The pdf's are pretty detailed. I was surprised.

Can you feel the humming more in one spot then the other? I'm thinking that some trash got up in your faucet where it's found a home. Shut the water off under the cabinet and pull the cartridge. Inspect and clean the inlet ports on it. Now place a pan over the open valve body and have someone turn on the water for a minute to flush out the supplies and the open valve body. Reassemble and test. Hum better now? Regards, Tom
