Plumbing – Retractable faucet stopped working suddenly

faucetpipeplumbing

This faucet is less than a month old, so this is not about any sort of build up in rust or minerals. I have used it less than ten minutes before it failed.

Here is what I tried so far:

  1. Checked other faucets in the house, they are working just fine.

  2. I disconnected the water sources and they are working just fine.

  3. I took off the aerator and made sure there's no obstruction.

I'm attaching a picture of the only part (left) that I can't verify is the failure point or not. Not sure if it's some form of anti-flooding mechanism or not, but I can't disconnect it.

The issue was fixed by leaving the faucet open for a while. I could be wrong but it seems like there was an amount of air trapped in the pipes. Let me know if this is a symptom of a bigger problem.
