Defect: Kitchen sink hand sprayer will not fully retract into holder. This is
caused by improper routing of under-sink plumbing including suppy lines to the
faucet, supply and drain hoses to the dishwasher and/or wiring and plumbing to
the garbage disposal. The sprayer hose should normally hang unrestricted and
unobstructed under the sink when not in use, allowing sprayer to properly sit
in its holder. Repeated attempts to force the sprayer to sit properly can stress
and sometimes dislodge other components under the sink, possibly resulting in
under sink flooding or leaks. Recommend evaluation by a licensed plumber and
proper re-routing of the conflicting components as required.
