My kitchen faucet will not run water unless I turn the knobs back and forth a few times then the water will come out It's very aggravating can anyone help?

Sounds like it's the washer. This is a fairly simple fix and takes about 1/2 hour. Turn off the water (make sure it's off) and take off the handle and valve will be right under. Unscrew the valve and you will see a small round rubber washer attached by a screw. Sometime's its just as easy tightening up the screw but usually you have to replace the washer which is usually only about $1 buck or so. I would suggest taking the whole valve down the home improvement store and talk to the employee in the department. If they suggest the valve is bad (which I doubt) then replace they will help find new one. If this doesn't work, you will need new faucet.

As a side note, not all faucets have washers but the all have valves. You may need to just replace the valve. Good luck

Please tell us the brand and the model number of your faucet that we can tell what needs to be done, Thanks.
