Hey guys, I need help – this is a weird one for which I’m hoping some of you have some ideas! Last week the appliance place delivered and installed a new dishwasher. Everything was fine and the flow of water to my kitchen faucet was as robust as ever after they left and for the following week. Then they came back the following week and swapped out the dishwasher (same model but stainless steel tub (which it was supposed to be) instead of plastic (which is what they brought the first time). Same exact model other than the tub material so literally all they had to do was shut off the hot water under the sink, swap the dishwasher out, and turn the hot water back on. Which is what they did. However *very weirdly* when they left I discovered that now the flow of water to my faucet is *very* diminished. You can see in the video in the first comment it doesn’t matter whether it’s hot, cold, or mixed…it’s all a very diminished flow (so it’s not specific to the hot water, which is the only thing that they touched). I did make sure both valves were fully open (it’s an older house, they are ‘gate valves’ I think they are called, the ones with the oval head). The water pressure/flow in every other sink, shower, and toilet in the house is still *fine*. It’s *just* the flow to the kitchen faucet, both hot and cold, and it happened when they installed the new dishwasher. All of the lines *look* fine and even if they weren’t, if the hot water line was compromised then you would think that *just* the hot water flow would be diminished and that the cold water flow would still be at its normal rate, or if it was the cold line then just the cold water would be impacted, but it’s *both*. Have any of you ever seen such a mystery? *ANY* idea what to check? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
