Sequence: Plumber is over for an unrelated problem, and asked to look at the handle. Says "easy fix" and swaps in a new handle. Leak stops for a few months. Then repeat.
Curious if there perhaps is a more deeply internal part that could use attention? (Presto Valve, Coyne and Delaney, Brooklyn NY, Pat. Pend.) Or is it likely that whatever "washer" is sealing there is continually degrading?
Thanks.
PS Don't think the last plumber even shut off the water to do the handle-assembly swap. Is a swap that simple?
