The handle on the faucet slowly drifts down and the water turns off

Hi Sue

The nut under the handle either needs to be tightened or the ORINGS under the nut need to be replaced.

Do you have a name brand for us?

If this is a new Moen kitchen deck faucet, or a replacement cartridge, it will do this until the faucet breaks in. I had the same problem when I replaced my kitchen faucet, Not to worry, It will clear up in a few weeks. Tom
