Thank you so much for the video. I have the same faucet and followed your directions to fix it very quickly. You saved me the cost of a plumber!
Great to hear!
@@ThatHobby
Thank you for the video.
Do you happen to have the model of the Moen Faucet?
@@spalace7919 I don't know the model number. Moen has a pretty good website. They say you can take a picture of the faucet and upload it and they will tell you the model number. I have been meaning to test it out and see how it works.
Thnxx so much! I’ve been looking for that screw for an hour thinking I’m overlooking it oh boi 😮
The same thing happened to me. I couldn't find any videos on it either so I had to make one. I am glad it helped!
Thank you so much! It was a pain to remove the old cartridge, but thankfully, I was able to locate a Moen cartridge puller tool by Danco at Home Depot. Finally got loose after some pulling.
Glad I could help! I was able to get it out without the cartage puller but it would have helped. Thanks for the great comment!
Thank you so much for the video it is the only video showing the exact same handle as mine
You're very welcome!
This came in very handy. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! I have changed a few faucets over the years but I haven't seen one like this before. There is usually a screw under the hot and cold cap. So yeah it can be a little tricky but once you know then it's not that bad.
@@ThatHobby I thought I was losing my mind. I kept looking for the grub screw but couldn’t find it. Your video saved me! 👍🏻
Thanks..helpful info.
Glad it was helpful! I remember how frustrating it was trying to figure out how to unscrew the handle.
THANK YOU!!!!!
I remember being stumped on this faucet. I couldn't find anything online about it so once I figured it out I had to make a video.
That worked great! Thanks!
Awesome!
Jesus why is this so difficult to figure out? My faucet handles have no set screws and they definitely do not have a base that needs to be loosened 😅. Onto the next diy video! Thanks anyway!
Good luck figuring it out. I know the feeling. Let me know what the trick is when you figure it out. Some handles have a little Allen key hole on the back side. It would be nice if they were all the same.
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
@ThatHobby #ThatHobby we need to fix a leaking shower/bath faucet from Bathfitters
Coming soon! There is a cartridge behind the water handle in the shower too. I need to replace one at my house. It's not leaking but it is stuck and the hot water won't come on. It is similar to replacing a cartridge on a sink handle. It is really tough to get out though and there is a pully tool that you need to use to get the cartridge out.
of course the wife is behind asking all sort of questions and putting doubts in our heads. It really helps when someone believes in what we are doing because that type of questions look more like criticism. Despite my comments that are aimed to strengthen wife husband relationships, this is a good video. Still the faucet valve is not like mine after I removed the first part
Thanks! Yeah there are more than a few different types of faucet valves out there. But they generally all come out the same way after you get the handle off. The key is to remove the bolt or pin that holds the cartage in. Once you get that out of the way you should be able to get the cartage out. My wife was actually pretty happy that I fixed the faucet. It is so nice to not have a leaking faucet now.
Good video. But I needed help reinstalling the handle which is similar to yours but it's separate from the base. My handle doesn't to want to go back in. Without the screw it just keeps popping back out. It doesn't want to seat on the new cartridge (which is all the way down & secured with the nut.) God, I hate Moen!
Mine had a cover to hold the cartage down. check out 2:00 to see what it looks like. The cover may be stuck in your handle. Mine were pretty corroded and I had to clean them up really good to get them back on there.
@@ThatHobby Thanx. But, that nut was fine. The catch tab under the handle was corroded & it broke when I removed it. The handle just spins on the replacement cartridge. I need a new faucet.
I’m trying to get to my flow valve for my shower .. the base of the handle turnes but the knob won’t come off
For my shower there is a screw head under the cap. So I got lucky there. You can double check to make sure there isn't a screw under the cap and then inspect the sides for a Allen key or screw hole. If you can't find anything see if you can find a name anywhere on it and look it up before you try to unscrew it like this.
Good to know... Wish l knew about a month ago lol
There are a lot of good videos online about taking faucet handles off but I couldn't find one about taking off a handle like this without a screw in it. So I thought I should make one. Its pretty simple once you figure it out. The tough part is getting the handle off if its all corroded like this.
Why wouldn't you just run both hot and cold, then shut them off. Then see if the leak is hot or cold?
You would have to shut the water off under the sink to test it that way. You could do that but just make sure the shut off valves aren't that old. Mine always seem to break when I shut them off and then I have a much bigger job to do. So I just shut off the main water to the house when I work on the facet handles. If your shut off valves are kind of old and you want to test it that way you might want to buy a few new ones and keep them on hand for emergencies.
@@ThatHobby - What I meant was, that for me, I don't have shut offs at the upstairs bathroom sinks. Mine was started to leak, I turned on both hot and cold for just a minute, then shut both off, the leak continued to be hot. So, instead of shutting off the water to the entire house, I just turned the hot off at the HW tank. That way, if I needed to go to the store to get parts, My wife still had cold water, could use the toilet etc. You just changed it out hoping it was the right one. I also just replaced the o-rings on the old cartridge just to see, low and behold, no more leak. Saved me going to the hardware store and $25 bucks! Woohoo! Cheers...
That's great! Mine was in there pretty tight and got tore up taking it out. That's great that you were able to test it that way too. You must have pretty nice plumbing. My hot water takes forever to get to the bathroom sink upstairs and my cold water is always lukewarm. So it would take a while to run that test. But it sounds like a pretty good way to test it.
I have that same Moen faucet - any idea what its name or model number is? I need to replace a broken handle. Thanks!
I couldn't find a model number. You could try taking a picture of it and emailing it to Moen. They have a pretty big selections of faucets on their site. The customer support link is on the bottom of there website.
@@rubberchicken5670 Yeah they are tough to work on. I had to replace a few of our shower cartages too. At least there was a screw on the shower handles. But those shower cartages were really tough to get out.
Moen will send you replacement cartridges for free. If you tell them you’re the original owner.
That's awesome!
All I get is a constant spin and handle never moves upward
I wonder if the threads on the faucet handle are striped? The corrosion could have worn them down. Try spinning it counter clockwise for a while and then pull up on it. If it doesn't feel like its loosening then try checking under the sink and see if hardware under the counter is moving. Maybe it is loose under there and preventing the handle from unscrewing?
@@ThatHobby everything under the sink good and tight, it took pressure from the channel lock but once it broke free it just spins freely each direction no stop
This sounds like a tough one. It kind of sounds like there is something holding it down. Some faucet handles are held down by an allen key screw. It is on the side or the back. Once you loosen it you can take it off. But if it doesn't have a screw under the cap or an allen key screw on the side or the back and you can't unscrew or pull off the base then something could be broken inside the handle?
I can't get handle back on
Watch the reassembly chapter to make sure you have the cartage in right. 3:30 If you have the cartridge in all the way and the cover bolt screwed on the cartridge then it should just be a matter of moving the top of cartridge around to get it to fit into the red plastic piece in the handle.
