    Water is not able to flow from kitchen sink. Can anyone help?
    Hello experts and subscribers! While rinsing a few dishes in my kitchen sink, the water flow abruptly stopped! Water is able to flow through the sprayer though. I removed the aerator and cut the hot and cold faucets on without it, but still no water. The other faucets in my apartment are okay. Should I replace my Glacier Bay swivel faucet? If not, I am all ears. :-)

    Turn off the water and open up the valve to remove the cartridge.
    Check and clear the inlet ports of then cartridge.
    Now, with the valve still open, place a pan over the valve and turn the water back on for a minute to flush out the supplies.
    You should see a strong stream. If not click back and tell me about it. Good luck, Tom

    Thanks speedball1 for you quick reply! Unfortunately, your advice is a foreign language to me. :-) Where are the valve, cartridge, and inlet ports? I tried to Google this information and found a website showing detailed pictures of rotary ball faucets, cartridge-style faucets, ceramic disc faucets, and spout leaks. After removing the spout from my faucet, I discovered its O-rings and I guess the diverter valve. I did not see a cartridge or inlet ports. If they are there, I do not know what they look like. :-(
