Only kitchen faucet won't flow.

I've searched, but can't seem to find this exact situation, everything seems more global.

After de-winterizing my trailer a few weeks back, I was flushing the lines and all the faucets (kitchen, bathroom, shower and toilet), both hot and cold were flowing just fine.

I got sidetracked and a week later I went back and directed water back into the hot water heater.

From my recollection, it seems that after I filled the hot water heater, my kitchen faucet started spurting, and now does nothing. Both hot and cold water. Not sure if those two things are related or not.

I was just back out in my trailer. I hooked up city water, the kitchen faucet dribbled a little water, then dead again (my city water feeds almost directly into my kitchen faucet for cold). No apparent leaks anywhere.

My faucet has both a hot and cold on/off.

All the other faucets/toilet, both hot and cold are working from both city and the fresh water tank.

Any ideas?

    I see you solved your problem but I will tell you of another.. This applies only to those kitchen faucets where the head pulls out and doubles as a sprayer.

    There is a check valve in the head where the hose connects.. It too clogs up.
  • Also cleaning your water heater will help remove sediment. I do mine once a year, but I do not winterize.
  • Probably stirred up sediment in the water heater when it filled up which in turn blocked up the aerator.
  • Would you think that when you filled the wH, that it washed the sediment off the bottom and right into the faucet ?
    Does that say its been a while since you drained the WH ?
  • Often there are little screens in the water lines connected to the faucet. Take it off, clean it and check the screens.
