Is the spray handle supposed to lock up after a spray? When I pull the handle, it stays in for around 3 seconds then pops open to spray again.

Ms./Mr. Dricoll: I never had a problem with the handle sticking. I remember using it constantly (squeezing it multiple times with no problem). Be sure the bottle is inserted tightly, and it is full of liquid. If the bottle is low, the squeeze handle doesn't work smoothly. I hope this helps.

Hi - No, it shouldn't lock up you every time. I have had the same issue with the handle sticking on my end. Mine doesn't stick (or lock) all the time, just some of the time. I'm guessing there's an internal part that is not releasing properly after the handle is squeezed. I never returned mine because while it's very frustrating, it doesn't happen often enough. I'm sure if I was proactive and cleaned it to make sure the line wasn't clogged it might work better. Anyway, if the handle locks up all the time I would return it or contact the manufacturer. I hope this was helpful.

Check that your two piece mop handle is properly aligned and that the two protruding buttons are fully extended. They secure the handle parts and if not in order you can have difficulty using the trigger mechanism. We did, but once aligned all is fine.

My handle doesn't stick too much, I feel like I read some other reviews that said it did after having it for a while. It may depend on the type of cleaner that is it there. Something with baking soda could potentially get clogged. I might recommend running some hot water through the sprayer system.

When you hear a couple clicks while pulling it out you should be able to release and it will lock. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to get it in the right spot. It must be in the click stage to lock.

you can spray a little and stop, just press lightly on tab. If you press it all the way down it locks open.

It sprays continuously once you press the button down and it stays there, to return to normal operation you press the button up. You do not need to hold the toggle for spray.

I had the exact same problem! I finally just pulled the handle straight out with pretty strong force and it came out. Good luck.

Spray is constant until you shut the faucet off (either by touch or valve). You do not need to hold the "trigger" down.

I'm not totally sure what that is, but the hose doesn't retract automatically, if that is what you are asking. It stays pulled out until you place the sprayer end back into the faucet stand. I haven't found that to be a problem; maneuvers well.

On mine I just have to press the lock release button then twist the handle until the handle locks automatically. You need to make sure your lock button is not stuck in the open position

Yes, it's called a "shut off lock" and when you squeeze the handle it releases pressure. On some models there's a pressure release that you pull up to release pressure. Either way, there's a way to release the pressure. Directions for using the release are included in the general use directions that come with the sprayer.

On mine you can NOT push it once to hold it on spray. You have to hold the trigger for spray. Arghh. My old one was the same way. Inconvenient when you want to have the spray on and use both hands for washing.

Your is defective. I have had mine for a year and the spray is consistent we every time and use it a lot!

In my case excessive vacuum inside the bottle has been the culprit. If you notice the walls of the bottle collapsing in on itself, the pump of the sprayer may not be able to refill itself before the next trigger pull. Usually happens when the fluid level within the bottle is low. Just pull the bottle back out and loosen the cap to vent air back inside (tighten cap before reinserting).

Mine didn't initially want to go on, but I pressed down on it, hard, and screwed it in place at the same time. Two things, make sure that you tighten it in a clockwise direction looking down on it, and firmly grasp the section just below where you're screwing the end cap on so that you don't accidentally bow or break the handle. I hope that's of some help.

Check to make sure it's not screwed down too tightly. A little bit of lubricant in the part that spins might help also. The handle really does move it quite nicely. You may want to check to make sure nothing like packing material or debris is stuck in it, effectively jamming it tight.

Sounds like the lock mechanism might be bent. Once it's open it should spring open and stay open until you squeeze it closed and put the lock in place to hold it closed. Are you running your hand or glove over the lock lever forcing it to close and lock when squeezing?

I had the same problem but realized that there was not enough pressure. If you tighten it more it should lock into place, also make sure the door is pressed down all the way before snapping the handle down.

The spray mode stays on until the button is switched back to normal mode. You do not need to hold the button.
