Kitchen Faucet makes a CLUNKING sound!!


My single handle delta kitchen faucet makes a clunk (sometimes a few clunks) when water is turned on. I have replaced the 2 springs and rubber seats. The "clunking" is intermittent. It happens with both the hot and cold water. No other faucets in the house make the "clunking" sound!

I need the cause and the solution please!!!!

Thanks, Nancy

Sounds like the spray diverter. Unscrew the aerator, diverter should be under it, clean everything and then see what it does.

Thank You, I will certainly try this, however the faucet is doing it when I use the main handle to turn on the hot and cold water. But I will give it a try anyway.

Thanks,
Nancy

Nancy, the diverter is right under the aerator, so if it is partly messed up is will cycle on and off every time you turn the faucet on, regardless of whether u use the spray or not, which can make that "clunking" noise
