    Limpy One Handle Kitchen Faucet
    Is there a way I can fix my kitchen faucet, or do I need to buy a new one?
    The handle will not stay up on it’s own unless it is All the way up.(I do not always want the water to come out that fast) It just falls down if I push it only part way up and do not hold on to it. I have tried to tighten the screw on the outside of the top piece but don't help(for long anyway).
    It is a one handle with pull apart sprayer. Price Pfister.
    Thanks in advance

    Turn the water off under the cabinet, Open up the valve, pull the cartridge and replace it. That should solve your problem. Good luck, Tom
