I can not turn the handle to close the cold line faucet to the washing machine.
I think it has been more than a decade at least to turn the handle to close it.
I cleaned the mineral deposits with the CLR outside stem area, but still it will not turn.
I have 2 questions.
1. If I turn the packing nut (the photo below with the yellow line) a little bit to break the deposit, will it work? Or is there a better way to make this faucet handle turn?
2. Is this faucet using the compression fitting? Or is this faucet using the thread for connection, not compression fitting?
Thank you very much.
