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.
