    Cold Water - No Pressure
    I have a dual kitchen water faucet [I don't know the brand name]. I don't have any cold water but hot water works great [too hot!]. How do I find if there is an obstruction or clog-in-the-line for cold water!

    Shut the water off in the cabinet and open up the valve. Ckeck and clear the cold water inlet port on the cartridge or the cold water seat. Now, while the valve's still open place a pan over the ope4n valve body and turn the cold water on to flush out the cold water supply. You should have a strong stream. If not click on back. If you have a good stream then reassemble the faucet and test. Good luck, Tom
