A little WD-40 was all it took, although it was quite difficult to remove using lock wrench pliars.

Have Price pfister kitchen faucet...the hot water has slowed to a trickle. Not the source -plenty coming in and after replacing cartridge with new from Price Pfizer-no change. Any ideas?

Back to the basics...did you turn the hot water shutoff back on? Is it a multi-turn shutoff or a 1/4-turn one? If it was old, and multi-turn, the washer could be shot, and it is all clogged. Try disconnecting the hose and see if you can get any flow into a bucket from the connection.

There could be some crud caught inside of the cartridge, so you might need to remove it and flush it out. Price Pfister single handle sink faucet no hot water

Avalon cartridge faucet handle sticking

I would try replacing the cartridge. Handle has a set screw (probably an allen head) There should be a retaining nut holding the cartridge in. Unscrew it and pull the old cartridge out. You might have to pull pretty hard.

I have a Price Pfister Marielle Kitchen Faucet that looks exactly like Model No. F-026-3NCC. I need to replace the ceramic valve so I ordered part #Price Pfister 974-035. It looks similar to the valve in...

That faucet was discontinued some time back for the one you ordered parts for and the only way to get the part if it is still available is to know the part number. Now if you have a plumbing parts house in your area that specializes in faucet parts they may be able to match up the old part if you still have it.
If you can find the part number for the faucet you have then the part may still be available from Price Pfister.

Valve closes by itself when at less than full on position

This usually is an indication of wear on the cartridge, the rubber o-rings and what not, they tend to get a little sticky. Best thing is to contact Price Pfister and have them send you a new cartridge with the install instructions if you don't already have them. Price Pfister is great to deal with and should provide these things to you at no extra charge as there is a lifetime warranty on their products. Their number is 1-800-PFAUCET (1-800-732-8238). Good luck.

Dripping faucet price pfister kitchen

Very nice kitchen faucet. I like Price Pfister's products. To repair it you will need a phillips screwdriver to remove the handles and crescent wrench to remove the cartridges. If it is dripping then one of the faucet cartridges need to be replaced. Its best to replace both cartridges as inevitably the other one will start to leak after you've replaced the troublesome one. Your local hardware store or plumbing supply store should have a replacement cartridge for this model. Remove one of the cartridges and take it with you to ensure you get the correct part. There is an exploded diagram of your faucet on the Price Pfister site at that shows the part number for the cartridge. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.http://www.pricepfister.com/www/ImageAssets/mirror/model/kitchen/savannah/savf8h6-85/ex-036-01.pdf

Soap dispenser not pumping. should i send this or is there an easy fix

Inside the dispensor pump cartridge is a small ball that acts like a valve; it gets stuck or gummed-up,or dirt particles may lodge against it therefore the ball does not seal the valve hole and no pumping occurs. You can disassemble the cartridge if you have the patience, or contact price pfister for a replacement. Note: the handle is not part of the replacement; the cartridge is a general part that fits many styles of decorative matching fauctes. Goodluck, Macgivor

I have a price Pfister Marielle kitchen faucet. The valve body leaks when handle is in off position.

There is an o-ring around the valve body inside the outer shell. This needs replacing -- sometimes you can match these at hardware stores.

Shut water off, remove handle, pull up outer shell, you'll see the o-ring.

More info, let me know.

Water runs slow

Three possible reasons for low pressure. 1. faucet cartridge has debris in valve body. 2. aerator has debris ,just unscrew and clean out. 3. Water valves under sink are not opened up. hope this helps
