We have an el cheapo kitchen faucet that came with the house (6 years
old). It's a stainless steel one piece with a handle to adjust hot/
cold. It also has a plastic sprayer that's very confused. Never worked
as it was intended for. Anyway, these days if we lift the handle, it's
coming off. Does it mean we have to replace the faucet or can we
replace any part within that will fix it? The faucet still works. We
have to be careful not to pull it too hard.

Since I'm a newbie I want to find out how easy/hard it is to replace a
kitchen faucet. We have replaced cartridges in our bath tubs before.
Is replacing a kitchen faucet considerably more complicated than
replacing a cartridge? Should the old faucet be thrown away in the
trash or will any freecycler have any use for it?

Sorry for naive questions.

Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by "lift the handle" but if it's something like
the faucet shown he

then look for a set screw on the bottom of the handle, like where the
red dot in the picture is. If the set screw is still there, try
tightening it, perhaps with an allen wrench.

If your faucet isn't anything like the one in the picture, find one on
the net, post the link and we'll see what we can do.

OP here. Thanks for your reply. Here's a link for the faucet.
