Moen Faucet Repair

Leaky Moen faucets can usually be repaired by competent adults. Shut off the water at the valves below the sink, then flip off the plastic disc that has H or C on it. Under that is usually a Phillips screw, undo this while grasping the handle, then pull handle off after the screw is out. Now you will see a large nut holding the stem in, that needs to be removed. This is often 3/4 or 7/8 , but a crescent wrench is the handiest tool for it. When this nut is off gently pull out the stem. This will have either a rubber washer on bottom, or a plastic cartridge. Take this to a store like Home Depot and match it. If it is a Moen faucet with as lifetime warranty, HD usually has a case of Moen parts which are free. -Replace everything in opposite order.
