My kitchen faucet was leaking so I got a new washer and that stopped
the leak but I must be doing something wrong. The faucet handle doesn't
have a stop , you can keep turning it around . I have tried tightening
the nut but that doesn't seem to help.
Sorry if this isn't clear, I've never doen this before. I was so proud
of myself for stopping the leak!

Most all of the handles have a splined end and the handle goes over the
splines. Then the screw is tightened. The faucet stem should only turn
about 2 turns at most. Take apart and screw stem out then put back on
faucet and tighten the nut then if the handle is on properly you should
be able to turn it off.
