Common Kitchen Faucet Issues

1. Dripping Faucet

4. Loose Faucet Handle

Question: How can I fix a wobbly faucet handle?
Solution: A loose faucet handle can often be fixed by tightening the screw beneath the decorative cap. If tightening doesn’t solve the issue, the handle might need a replacement.
