Hello forum, and thanks in advance for your tips!
My problem: I installed a new kitchen faucet (high-pressure model), but now no water is coming out. The background is that I originally just wanted to replace a faulty shower hose, which wouldn’t fit through the faucet’s opening. I called a plumber, who opened everything up and reinstalled it. After 2 hours, the hose was connected to the faucet, but suddenly several hoses started leaking. When he left, his “tip” was to replace the entire kitchen faucet with one that fits the shower hose better. This is odd because it wasn’t just the shower hose that leaked, but also the connection hoses to the shut-off valves.
I did that and installed the new faucet, but now no water is coming through. The main water valve is open. The shut-off valves don’t turn either left or right. However, I assume they didn’t just break overnight. The water was running fine before.
I suspect and hope that maybe I just need to turn something. Can you please help me? Does anyone have advice? Many thanks in advance!

Hi
different approach... does the spindle rotate as well?
If not, remove the handwheel and turn the square shaft with pliers
OlliI can’t see if it’s rotating. At the risk of asking a very dumb question: how do I remove the handwheel?

pull firmlyBefore I do this now: Someone said, "DANGER TO LIFE!!" I’m supposed to keep my hands off the blocked shut-off valves because of the instantaneous water heater, which apparently stays on even after the power is cut off (3 fuses on the device). Why can’t I even get to the shut-off valves anymore?
