To replace a kitchen faucet diverter valve, start by shutting off the hot and cold water supply valves underneath the sink. Remove the faucet handle or unscrew the spout housing to expose the internal diverter mechanism, which is often held in place by a small retaining clip or threaded plug. Pull out the old diverter valve, insert the new matching replacement valve, reassemble the fixture components, and turn the water back on. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Shut off the water supply valves under the sink before beginning repairs. Verification: Test both the main spout and side sprayer to confirm zero leaks and proper water redirection.
