Faucet repair?
Before attempting to discover if the faucet has replaceable washers or
other things I can easily purchase is there any way to tell in advance? The faucet only drips sometimes. If I turn it on and off hard a few times it usually quits dripping. Maybe something besides a washer? Suggestions? TIA -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

Look up the brand and type you have and you can probably find a kit of some sort. |

Yes, everyone I've seen has either a washer or cartridge. Generally the individual faucets have washers, the one handle type have cartridges. The problems become that often they are very old, corroded, scaled, hard to take apart. |
