Do you need to take the faucet apart to replace the sprayer?

Clogged sprayer.

take apart the screen on the sprayer and clean it out. run the water through the faucet without the screen for a minute and then reassemble.

take old sprayer with you and you should be able to get one at a hardware or even at homedepot.most sprayers come apart. maybe the rubber ring is bad on inside of sprayer.

Hi,
The problem is probably in the floating valve that is located under the spout. This valve floats up and into the base of the faucet when you push the handle on the sprayer to use it. This redirects the water to the sprayer.
They get stuck and then don't close off the spout properly
Short of teraring the faucet clean apart they are almost impossible to fix. Turning the water off and disconnecting the supply hoses, then blowing air back through the faucet spout may dislodge whatever is in there. This has worked for me in the past... and it has not work also...
May be worth a try..

By "leak in the stem" I assume you mean you're getting water in the cabinet below the faucet. High likelihood is it's the hose - either loose where it connects to the faucet or the sprayer. You can pull it out and check to be sure it's tight at the sprayer. To check the faucet end, you'll need to be under the cabinet with a light. If you don't find one of those connections loose, it's likely one or the other is leaking, due to a hose defect or washer (or missing washer).
The only way to see that is to turn the faucet on full (cold) with the sprayer pulled out and look for a leak in the hose behind the sprayer. If not there, leave the water running (may need another person to hold the sprayer) and inspect under the cabinet with your light for a leak either in the hose or at the connection to the faucet. If the problem is the hose or one of the nuts, it's an easy deal to buy a replacement hose - Home Depot stocks Moen.

Get the replacement parts in about 10 days FREE from PP. Call 800-732-8238. The flow is the diverter tee. I had the cartridge and aerator replaced. And then I replaced the diverter tee. I ordered the parts on a Saturday; got them the following Saturday. Below is a video to remove the diverter tee. The video is helpful, but doesn't tell you about the other 2 connections. The "spout" connection and the connection to the right (the "t" part) is simply a wiggle off. Then after those are off (with lots of water coming out - get towels ready), then you can crawl back from under the sink and get the sprayer off. The sprayer procedure is in the video (push up/in hose) then pull down gray collett. These faucets were discontinued in 2005; a plastic disconnect is now available for newer models. Also, we had to replace the cartridge and the aerator to keep it from leaking out of the handle. The problem we originally had was not having equal pressure with the faucet and the sprayer. The faucet would be running and then the pressure would go down. The sprayer would be weak when the faucet was on - never getting full pressure from the sprayer, just a trickle. It was "moody."

Removing Diverter/Quick Connect:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Price Pfister, here is a link to a video that will guide you through the steps on how to either remove the quick connect or the diverter.

You can go to PP's website and see and "Exploded View" of the model you have. If in the model number it states "XX" that is the finish - for example, mine states Marielle Kitchen Faucet "26-3NXX" The "3" is the number of holes (put a 4 in its place for 4 holes). The XX is SS for Stainless steel - even though it's chrome.

Disconnect hose from sprayer unscrew nut on sprayer head remove washers and you will see a small c shaped clip get that apart then remove hose and thread it back on under sink and feed it back up through sink and reconnect to sprayer

compare old diverter to new one look for different wear on the old. could be bad manifold and with no receipt could be challenge just keep complaining to them works most of time .

If you have a Delta faucet your diverter may need to be replaced. The diveter is located under the spout (see diagram)(this is not your faucet but works the same)



Here are the instructions:

1. Turn off water to faucet.
2. Remove handle.
3. Remove top cap.
4. Turning spout back and forth gently lift and remove.
5. Remove and replace diverter.
