A faucet handle that drifts, drops, or moves on its own due to loose internal tension is typically fixed by tightening the adjustable packing ring or adjusting the friction collar beneath the handle assembly. Remove the handle using an Allen wrench, locate the packing nut or friction ring, and tighten it slightly clockwise with a wrench to increase mechanical resistance. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Shut off the water supply valves under the sink before starting repairs. Verification: Move the handle through its full arc to confirm it holds its position firmly without drifting.
