    Kitchen faucet
    I have a Glacier Bay single handle kitchen faucet. (series 900) The hot water side keeps shutting off as soon as the water starts to get warm/hot. I changed the cartridge, but the problem continues. Do I need a new faucet? The faucet is 4 years old. No other faucets in the house have this problem

    You probably have debris trapped in either the faucet or the stop valve under the sink.
    When you changed out the cartridge, did you flush out the faucet.

    Remove the cartridge again. Briefly turn on the hot water and flush the valve. If problem continues turn of the water at the water heater. Remove the stem of the hot side stop valve under the sink. Briefly turn on the water and flush out the stop valve.
