Stainless steel Price Pfister kitchen faucet with separate pump soap
dispenser. It just stopped pumping... any ideas what is causing it and how
to fix it? TIA, Laurie


Might be some dried soap blocking the check valve. Remove the pump and
soak it in water overnight. Then try operating the pump while it is
submerged in water.

I've had one of these for many years.
They never last long. If you buy the
brand name
units, expect to pay $30 to $60. When
my last expensive one died, I when to
the home store (Menards) and bought the
el-cheapo unit for about $15. It was
probably made in China or somewhere like
that. It has
worked just as good as the Grohe, etc.
I suspect it will die after 5 or 6 years,
just like the previous Grohe unit.
