What could the issue be besides the weight? Mine will retract all the way when I push it back in, but not on its own. I adjusted the weight and checked that its not hitting anything on the way down, but it sounds like there is friction with the lines. Underneath there are four lines going into the sink (both end of the loop with the weight, and hot/cold lines) so I’m guessing there are too many things and they’re rubbing against each other? But they’re all the parts that came with the faucet so I don’t know why they wouldn’t fit right.
@MikeKlimek Жыл бұрын
It could be a small space with lots of things that are contacting it (friction). If you're sure it's not hitting anything, try adding an additional weight to the hose.
