My batroom faucet stops running hot or cold water, Could it be an air lock?

My bathroom faucet stops running hot or cold water. Could it be an airlock.

Hi Rafo18:

Most likely the aerator is clogged. The aerator is located at the end of the faucet spout (see image).

Unscrew this clockwise, if necessary, using a pair of pliers, and clean the different screens. Run water without the aerator in place (run hot and cold) and then replace the aerator. That should get you up and running again.

If the cleaned aerator leaves an undesirable spray pattern then you can replace the aerator at any local hardware store (bring old one with you).

Let us know how you make out... O.K.?
