Your touchless faucet may have stopped working due to several reasons. Check the power source first; it could be powered by batteries or plugged into a household outlet. If it's battery-operated, the batteries may need replacing. For faucets connected to power, ensure the outlet is functioning. A blocked sensor or build-up on the faucet can also cause issues, so cleaning the sensor might help. Finally, a reset of the faucet's system can often resolve any operational glitches. If these steps don't work, consulting the manufacturer or a professional plumber might be necessary.
