We have frost free hose bibs that won't 'turn on". It has been in the 60's and even 70's for a few weeks but we do live in upstate NY where the winters are cold. We had this problem last year as well and they didn't allow water to flow until May! We need our outdoor hoses now! Any suggestions or comments? Are they working properly?

Not sure what above means, who is they?

The stem may be bad or the washers. Not sure what kind of hose bib you have, here are some tips to repair.
