I recently replaced the faucet in my kitchen. It worked fine for about 2 weeks, then suddenly the pressure of the hot water dropped by about 2/3. I thought maybe the cartridge was clogged and turned off both the hot and cold water under the sink. I turned on the faucet to drain the excess water, but the hot water continued to come out with the same force as before, and did not stop. I am certain I turned the water off completely. I started to disconnect the hose between the pipe and the faucet until water started spraying out. Any help or suggestions on how to resolve this will be greatly appreciated.

You Have problem with your hot water angle valve under the sink, shut offf the water to house, remove and replace the angle valve, see the image below, Thanks.

Thanks for your response. You were right on the money.

Thanks for the update, Did you change the whole valve assembly?

Regards,
John

I didn't, but I had a plumber change it. That was getting a little advanced for me. I was glad that I could tell him what the problem was though.

Thanks again.
