Slow cold water flow in faucet.
Modern faucets are made to be 'Eco', so less water flow and lower water consumption.
If the water flow is a lot more on the hot side, there there is a fault with the cold. There aren't many reasons.
Stuck shut of valve. Disconnect the braided line and open the valve into a bucket.
Or the ceramic cartridge in the faucet is not correctly lined up.
Or remove the strainer on the head, they can block with debris.

I have a delta touch faucet and the blue led light stopped working. The red is still lighting and the touch feature is working properly. How can I fix the blue led light?
- Solid Blue - Normal operation, "Touch" mode is activated.
- Flashing Blue - Normal operation, the hands-free mode is activated.
- Solid Red - Warning mode - Replace batteries as soon as possible. While the water is running Solid Red LED is illuminated. When the water is off, the Red LED flashes once every 5 seconds. The faucet operates normally, solenoid valve is open.
- Rapid Flash Red - Alert Mode - Battery Failure Imminent. The Red LED flashes once a second. The first time the faucet is used, the Red LED will turn ON, the solenoid valve will be opened and remain open. The manual valve must be used until the batteries are replaced.
- Solid Red - Lockdown Mode - Replace Batteries. Extremely Low Batteries - The RED LED is ON, and water will not flow. The solenoid valve is closed and faucet will not operate until batteries are replaced.
- Long Flash Red (2 seconds on / 2 seconds off) - Board error, replace electronics kit, RP53230 See manual bypass of electronics section of Installation instructions.
Delta Charmaine faucet (19962TZ) set screw button
Try using a suction cup to pull the button out. Place the suction cup over the button and pull it outwards. The suction cup should create enough force to pull the button out.
If the suction cup doesn't work, try using a strong magnet to pull the button out. Place the magnet over the button and pull it outwards. The magnet should create enough force to pull the button out.
If the above methods don't work, try using a flathead screwdriver to pry the button out. Place the screwdriver under the button and gently pry it outwards. Be careful not to damage the button or the faucet.
If this does not work, try customer support for Delta.
Moen Positemp Shower - little or no flow after several years?
Test the flow of water with the showerhead removed (through the shower arm). If you are getting good flow through the shower arm- clean the showerhead to remove any debris and replace if necessary. If there is still no flow, replace the cartridge.

How do I remove the plastic insert to access the cartridge on a Kohler K-171 kitchen faucet?
To remove the plastic insert on your Kohler K-171 kitchen faucet, you can follow these steps:
First, turn off the water supply to the faucet.
Next, remove the handle of the faucet by unscrewing the set screw on the underside of the handle using a hex wrench or an Allen key.
Once the handle is removed, you should see a plastic insert that covers the cartridge. To remove this insert, use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry it off.
Once the plastic insert is removed, you should be able to access the cartridge.
If you need more detailed instructions, you can refer to the installation manual for your Kohler K-171 kitchen faucet .

Error code E515
Often PC boards are damaged by power fluctuations, or when a unit is plugged in with an extension cord. Extension cords cause a voltage drop. When the voltage drops, the amperage (heat) increases and damages the PCB. It could also be from the original install. If the gas line is too small or there is not enough combustion (make up) air, the machine will keep trying to adjust but does not understand why the unit is not working well. Then it displays an error code. It is always important to check the combustion and heater settings. Combustion is nearly never adjusted by contractors. And gas companies make mistakes too.
