Hi Laurel,
Thanks for your feedback.
I'm sorry to hear about your faucet and would be happy to assist. This model does not feature a magnet. From what you described, the placement of the weight located on your faucet hose may need to be adjusted to ensure it is fully retracting the spray head back into the spout.
Also, please make sure there is nothing blocking the weight from under the counter as this is what will retract the spray head.
We'd be happy to also review this over with you directly.
Please feel free to reach out to us at 800-775-0703 or via email at customerservice@kraususa.com with any additional questions.
Thank you for reaching out.
