Cold side of faucet, when turned on, occasionally makes vibrational noise and water ceases to come out. Can turn off cold, turn on hot side then turn on cold side, cold will flow for a moment only to again vibrate and shut down with the valve in the open position. What is happening and what can I do to fix this problem?
Sounds like the valve is comming apart internally. This allows the water to get into places it shouldn't and the water pressure forces the valve closed even though the handle is in the open position. Take it apart and check for loose screws and broken pieces. Lowes or Home Depot should have parts. Don't forget to shut off the valve below the faucet (if the plumber installed one) if not one will have ot shut off incomeing water supply.
