Kitchen sprayer no spraying

[christyk]

New kitchen spritzer will spray out nothing but air till the very end of the pressure release then spits out the oil. Help! How do I fix this? I have had these in the past and NEVER had an issue with one before.

If you are having an issue with your kitchen spritzer, the first thing you should do is check the O-rings. These rings are responsible for sealing in the pressure and if they are worn or damaged, they will not be able to hold the pressure and cause the oil to come out. If they look worn, replace them. You may also want to check the nozzle for any clogs or obstructions. If the nozzle is blocked, it can cause the pressure to release too quickly and the oil to come out. Clean it out with a cotton swab or compressed air. Finally, try adjusting the pressure setting on the spritzer. If it is set too high, it could be causing the pressure to release too quickly and the oil to come out.
