Hi,

My kitchen faucet does not work. The water is working and going to the dish washer just fine but not through the faucet. I've tried to remove the faucet from the top and I cannot. It is a washerless faucet. I'm thinking I need to replace the faucet itself. HELP!

Have you removed the aerator ,(see image)from the spout and checked and cleaned the screens? Let me know if this helps, Tom

It is likely that the cartridge is plugged and can be clean rather than buying a new faucet. A picture or brand would be helpful but start by removing the handle. Different manufacturers are pretty good at hiding the set screw that holds the handle. Look for a small hole or plug on the back side of the handle and use an Allen wrench. Come back when you are this far along, picture if you can. Tom's areator would be the perfect solution if you are lucky. Cartridges usually don't plug both hot and cold at the same time.
