    Kitchen faucet handle is wobbly making it hard to turn off water
    We have a single kitchen faucet that you turned up and right for cold, up and left for hot and down for off. It is four years old. Of late, the lever is wobbly so we have to jiggle it and find a "sweet spot" to it turn off while also pushing down on the top to stop the water flow. I can't seem to find a brand name anywhere on the faucet although the bathroom faucets say Moen and these are the faucets that were installed when we built the house. Any thoughts on how to repair without replacing the entire faucet? Attaching a photo of the faucet.

    First reduce the size of your picture. Next show a pic or the under side of the counter top where the faucet is attached.

    Hello Kindahandy,


    Please see the image below try to remove the cap on top of the faucet and see inside you may find a screw tighten that screw it will fix the wobbling, good luck.
