4 year old Delta two-handle kitchen faucet model #21902-LF,
Original problem: Water kept running for severalseconds after we turned it off. It slows to a trickle and then to a severe and the eventually stops. This happened suddenly and did it for both handles. Called Delta and was told the problem was the stem unit assemblies and they sent me two new ones.
Second round of problems: After I replaced them, it made no difference on the cold side. The water kept running for a few seconds after shutting it off. And the hot water stayed running no matter what. It didn’t matter if the handle was turned off or on, the only way to shut it off with at the valve underneath the sink. After messing with it for nearly two hours, I replaced the new assembly with the old one and that problem went away.
But now I’m back to the original problem.
Help!
