We had this same problem. We twisted off the sprayer cap to access the diverter valve under the trigger. The nylon diverter was stuck down into the cavity and was not popping out when the trigger was released. We pushed it down several times with needle nosed pliers to release it then applied a drop of household oil lubricant with the valve pushed all the way in. Then pushed and released several times to work the lubricant around the sides of the valve. After re-assembly, the sprayer seems to work perfectly again.

The diverter valve in the faucet may be stuck or bad. This web site has some views of faucet internal parts. Hope this is helpful to you.

Kitchen faucet continues to run water when sprayer is in use

Did he replace it because the same thing was happening? (I am guessing yes). The problem isn't with the sprayer, but with the diverter. Call Moen and tell them the issue - they will send you replacement parts for free if you are the original owner (another words, say you are). Good luck!

Stream doesn't stop when I'm trying to use my sprayer

Ok, A moen thing, huh? Well lets look at it as a differential valve sticking. Turn your hot water on and keep hitting the trigger on the hand spray. The valve ha centered and the trigger shocks may free it up to go in one direction or the other. It should default to the spicket when you release the trigger.. Keep doing it and you will see if it's moving by the flow out the spicket. Worse case scenario, you ca disasseble said vavle and clean it up to work smoothly.. Good luck and stay dry.
