Jayco 29 RKS bathroom faucet issue

Greetings,
We couldn’t be more please with our RV. Just a small issue perhaps someone might be able to help us with.
The bathroom faucet, both hot and cold have developed a small screech sound when turning on and off. We have tried a small application of WD40 on the stem with out success.
Grateful for any suggestions. Jim and Pam. West Seneca, NY.

If you can find what brand it is you may be able to purchase some new cartridges for it. I have replaced many cartridges in home faucets and it is very easy. You would think an RV one would be easy too.

The RV faucet may be a cheapie with no repair parts available. You could try removing the cartridge and applying some lube to the o ring gaskets/seals. Just a thought.

If all else fails, ear plugs may work!

Bath room sink faucet cartridge

I have been advised that perhaps my issue might be corrected if I replace the hot and cold faucet cartridges.

Once again it is a 2018 29RKS. Could this perhaps be an Amazon purchase?

My thanks, Jim

Mine does that cheap squeaky noise, too. I have a small tube of valve/Oring lube I'll try putting on to see if that helps.

It is very easy to change the faucet to a metal one with ceramic cartridge, unscrew the hot/cold lines change and reattach lines, as a bonus I bought one with more clearance around handles. Problem solved for good
