I have a problem with my kitchen faucet. It is MOEN single handle faucet with a sprayer in the side. I do not know the exact model but it is probably 20 years old and uses a cartridge #1225. The problem I have is that all of a sudden, water does not come out from the faucet (neither hot or cold). If I push the lever in the sprayer all the way I get a squirt of water and then nothing (five squirts would fill a glass). If I press half the way, I get a pulsating high pressure squirt (all the house trembles and makes noise as the water goes on and off, like if this was a hydrowasher). I think this may be a problem with the diverter valve, but I am not sure. But, where is the diverter valve? I partially disassembled the faucet and although it is similar it is not exaclty as the illustrated parts that I found in the Moen site. And when I removed the spout I found two little pieces of plastic, one that is white and looks like a washer (although instead of a round hole it is like a cross) and one black portion of something (this one broken). Not sure where they came from, maybe from inside the spout?. I am looking for the diverter / diverter valve and I can not figure out where it is. Is it possible it is (should be) inside the spout? Any tip on what to do next would be appreciated.
