The sprayer on my kitchen sink faucet is caught between two settings and won’t produce a solid stream. Unfortunately, the faucet (Kohler Artifacts) has been discontinued and I can’t find a replacement part. Any ideas on how to fix this? We do have hard water, so wondering if that might be gumming up the works.
Did you check the other end of the hose for clogs? I didn't find any parts listed for that model number so I think the spray head is the part. Try soaking the head in some CLR and then back wash it and see if it helps. I've worked on a lot of Kohler products and many of them are not made to be disassembled. The ones I did get apart were so scratched up I just replaced them.
The spray head can be opened up by using the four holes on the underside. If you have some thin needle-nose pliers (or I used a set of snap-ring pliers), stick them in two of the holes and twist. The whole bottom section unscrews.
Kohler does not sell a replacement aerator for this assembly (I checked), but the aerator is just a standard 18mm unthreaded aerator, which you can buy from Amazon or your favorite supplier. Replace the aerator and reassemble!
Not serious but annoying: brand new kohler Carmichael faucet head does not flow evenly. Sputters and sprays everywhere.
I removed the head to looking for something caught inside, but there was nothing.
It's new, so no mineral buildup.... What else could I do to solve this?
Hi I found a great deal on some "new" "never installed" Kohler purist bathroom faucets. From the pics they look a bit tarnished and have different washer/nuts than on the online instructions. Should I be concerned?
