I think your wish should be for TH-cam to go back to the non-monitization days, then. Back when the goal was not for everyone and their brother to make money.
Thank you so very much for this video! I am not a 'do-it-yourselfer' but by following your video this only took my 10 minutes from start to finish. God bless you for taking the time to upload. I'm sure this saved me $100's of dollars!
Good on you. Most of these around-the-house types of fixes for plumbing/electrical etc are a lot easier than they seem! Really all you need to be a do-it-yourselfer is TH-cam and a sliver of confidence! Oh and having the right tool for the job also helps a lot. ;P
As soon as I put my house on the market, the bathroom faucet started dripping. I started calling plumbers but they were all charging around $90 just to come out and then parts and labor on top of that. After watching your videos I was able to get a $6.00 replacement cartridge and fix it myself in about 10 minutes. Thank you thank you thank you so much! You saved me about $200, plus now I can brag about fixing my own drippy faucet😀
Thank you so much for this series of two videos! After watching it, we headed out to Lowe’s, got the right parts, and came home and fixed it in less than five minutes. You saved us an expensive service call and a lot of frustration after listening to a drip for two weeks straight.
If you look at 2:17, you can see the drain is open while he is disassembling the faucet. I recommend keeping the drain closed or plugged during the process, because losing small parts or screws down the drain is a major nuisance, depending of course on how your faucets are constructed.
I am not a handy guy. Thanks to your two videos on fixing leaky sink faucets, I was able to fix one of mine over the weekend which had been dripping for a few weeks with increasing volume. Thank you for teaching me this repair. I couldn’t have done it without your help. It saved me a costly plumbing bill!
This was a HUGE help. Thank you for giving non-professionals the education to handle low skill work on their own!!! My pocket-book appreciates you more than you know!
My faucet cardridge came with an additional spring and rubber thing that needed to go in first before the cartridge. Took me a while to figure that out. Thanks for the video.
holy crap that worked! lol! My cold water valve was seized, but my main line was easy to maneuver so I just turned off all the water in the house ran to Canadian Tire, showed the old man the part I needed and voila! No more leaks and happy water system! Thank you sir! I feel so proud of myself thanks to you lol!
Just the faucet repair video I've been searching for! My kitchen faucet handle is just like this one, (I checked which side was leaking by shuting off ea. of the under sink valves, its my cold side leaking) of course, I figured the washers needed replacing, never dreamed they took cartilage. I had a handyman come out to check about making some small repairs for me & mentioned my leaky faucet & he tried to tell me I needed a complete faucet, uh, I said 'No,' This is only 10 yrs old, it a high curved faucet & its gold colored (paid a lot of money for this one). I think I can do it myself, just got to find if ACE hardware carries the cartilage. OH, thanks for the ending video....I would have still tried to use my cold water!! PS: I heard I should replace both sides as it will be a matter of time b4 the opposite side goes bad, whats your opinion? TY
After watching this video I was able to remove the cartridge from my faucet, carefully took it apart, wipe everything off then reassembled it. Once I put it back in and tightened everything up the leak went away. Worth trying that first before you go and buy a new cartridge.
Thx, Stan. You provided the concept so I pulled the old valve, then replaced the old valve and not leaking now. If it starts up leaking again then I'm ready mentally to pull it and match up an new one. Thank you again for uploading your tech skills.
First time messing with a sink and this video gave me the confidence to take it apart. Luckily I had almost the same set up as yours. No more drip, thank you!
Now if only i coukd get my apartments to finally fix mine, i woukdnt be on here looking at this, but thank you because it helps us folks who want to work!
This is a very helpful video. It had been so long since I have done this that I got every thing needed to make a repair. Thanks! Now...why do over 200 people find fault with a perfectly informative video, everything correct?
Great video doityourselfstan, thank you! Parts 1 and 2 helped me fix my mom's Moen leaking hot water faucet. It's a Moen with diffferent handles but the steps are essentially the same. Only problem is the replacement cartridge I got from HD was ALL plastic (the original cartridge has brass inside) and was basically junk and didn't work. Put the original cartridge back in for the time being and hopefully I can find a Moen one online. At least I know the steps for replacement now. Thanks again!
Very helpful, thank you! I was about to pull out the entire fixture to see where to find that leaking washer, thanks to your video I realized I could simply pull out the cartridge from the top after removing the handle and nut (my fixture actually had 2 nuts on each cartridge). Saved me a lot of time and frustration!
Saw the videos Part 1 & 2 and found both very helpful - thank you. Something to share on my experience, I found pulling the cartridge from my faucet very, very hard, almost not able to pop it out without exerting huge muscle power from my Son... others may have this same issue and think something is wrong.
Thank you for this video. I have one suggestion. I soaked the cartridges in CLR for about ten minutes. I rinsed them and reinstalled them. No more drips. Just a thought...great video and thanks again.
Thank you very much, this was very helpful. I would’ve assumed that the cartridge was bad but after watching your vid and one other I was able to figure out that it was just the spring and cup which are only 1/5th the price.
This video helped my friends problem. He didnt believe me when I said "Ill fix all ya leaks." Not even paying attention to what the guy says either. Just self explanitory. Thanks friend
Thanks for the Video! For my model, had to do an extra step of removing a small clip and flipping the top piece to get handle to turn in correct direction. If you have that problem, read instructions with part. Also, closing or covering the drain hole - smart idea.
Thank you for this video! I knew mine was the cold water side because I was able to turn it to completely off and then back a little in the on direction, then the drip would stop. Now it drips faster and I need to fix it like in the video lol.
Great video helped me out to replace hot waterside faucet valve. Only issue that the screw was so corroded that i was unable to remove with a screwdriver. drilled out of the handle and was balr to buy the replacement valves and assorted size screws for under $13.00. No more leaking water. thanks.
Woke up this morning and the bath faucet is dripping. Hmmm. That's new. It's never done that before. Reach under sink and turn off both valves. Faucet still dripping. Oh fun. Have to replace the valves before I can fix the faucet... Needs doing anyway, they are multi turn, supposed to be quarter turn now according to the guy who recently did a whole house plumbing inspection for me... Hope the main shutoff to the house still works! Thanks for the great vid on the faucet though, this one looks just like the one I have.
Just yesterday, I went to replace the cartridge on my kitchen faucet and ran into the same problem! So I ended up having to replace the cold-water supply valve first. (Yes, I love the new quarter-turn valves!) Now, everything is back together and functioning just like it should!
Great video, thanks! Was able to use this information for a bathroom faucet in a new (to us) house. Now just have to figure out which cartridge it is. The faucet has no brand name on it anywhere, but works identically to the one in your video.
I had a dripping hot water faucet and took the cartridge out. I found a small piece of wood lodged in it. I took the wood out and replaced the cartridge and the drip is gone. This video helped quite a lot in figuring out how to disassemble it and find the problem.
Thank you very much!! I wanted to do something nice for my parents before they came home and your videos make it very clear how to so many simple fixes around the house properly
thank you!!! I will make an honest attempt to fix it myself!!! the only challenge is the faucet handle style... no opening from the top, ie cap to pop off.... any thoughts? thank you again!!!
thank you from california. i am up pooping and this damn faucet has been leaking for a day now. its 1am and i used the your advice with the valves and its my hot water dripping. ill get it fixed tomorrow. thank you and God Bless you smart man!
I am getting stuck at step you showed at 2:07 - 2:14 ... in my faucet there is a thin hex nut which apparently has become stuck fast with the washer underneath it ... I guess the washer is some kind of rubber although I am not sure ... any idea how to loosen up this nut? ... any tool which works better for thin nuts? ... thanks for any reply and thanks anyways for helpful videos
Thank you for posting this! My landlord kept ignoring my pleas to fix the faucet (we pay water so it was costing him nothing. And he didn't want to hire a plumber. See the cheap-ass pattern? Haha) And I was able to fix it myself thanks to your video.
Thanks for the video. I ran around looking for an off size O-ring for my no-name (I couldn't find it) faucet. 2 trips out to Menards and Home Depot.... only to come up empty. I decided to put the part back on...and to my amazement I noticed that if I clamped it down tighter the leaking slowed and then stopped. UGH! So, my advice would be to tell the people to try tightening the cartridge once they take the handle off before they even pull the cartridge out to see if that could be the problem.
Good morning. This video is great! I was able to replace the cartridge to my cold water but not the hot. If I assemble the hot side after putting the washer back on it the entire cartridge seems to move. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong or if I just have to replace the whole thing. Thank you!
I wish all instructional videos on TH-cam were this quick and straightforward yet thorough with no extra nonsense. Great video.
I appreciate that very much! I'm glad the video was helpful!
I think your wish should be for TH-cam to go back to the non-monitization days, then. Back when the goal was not for everyone and their brother to make money.
Absolutely agree - not trying to sell anything or get people to know anything about him - a faceless teacher straight to the point -
Thank you so very much for this video! I am not a 'do-it-yourselfer' but by following your video this only took my 10 minutes from start to finish. God bless you for taking the time to upload. I'm sure this saved me $100's of dollars!

7 years later but this video helped me today so thank you for making it, keeping it up, and making the work to fix this easy. Thank you!!!!
Ppl
Haha same here yo
Yo how do you let your faucet leak for 7 years!?!?
I've let mine leak for like 3 months and to me I feel like a total fucking loser piece of crap for letting it go that long LOL
@@Yeardmeh-oo8pj the homeowner I’m about to go help has been letting his leak go for probably a decade. Don’t be so hard on yourself.
Thank you so much for leaving this up. I appreciate your simple instructions for the average gal with no man in the house.
Good on you👍
OMG THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! It worked!!! Didn’t even have to replace anything, just needed to tighten up the nuts!
Awesome!
Thank you very much. I would pay $350 for fixing if not seen your video. I fixed it for $4.84. You guys doing an awesome job.
Thank you so much for this series of two videos! After watching it, we headed out to Lowe’s, got the right parts, and came home and fixed it in less than five minutes. You saved us an expensive service call and a lot of frustration after listening to a drip for two weeks straight.
Almost ten years on and this video is still super useful; thank you!
Great to hear! Thank you for watching!
If you look at 2:17, you can see the drain is open while he is disassembling the faucet. I recommend keeping the drain closed or plugged during the process, because losing small parts or screws down the drain is a major nuisance, depending of course on how your faucets are constructed.
I second that! Lose your parts down the drain, and you'll end up taking apart the P-trap or maybe even buying an entire new faucet.
P job I io ok On u
Great idea! It's bound to happen 🤣
This worked for me. Thank you sir. 😄 Helping single ladies help themselves
I am not a handy guy. Thanks to your two videos on fixing leaky sink faucets, I was able to fix one of mine over the weekend which had been dripping for a few weeks with increasing volume.

So glad this was helpful!
As a new home owner this video gave me some much needed knowledge on some basic home maintenance. Really appreciate you taking to time to post this.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm pleased the video was helpful!
This was a HUGE help. Thank you for giving non-professionals the education to handle low skill work on their own!!! My pocket-book appreciates you more than you know!

Thanks. I had never fixed a faucet before, and this made it so easy. No more drip!!
Awesome! I fixed my faucet with the help from this video, and learned something new. THANK YOU!!!

@@VicMKV oh gawd victor
Awesome your video helped me learn how to save myself money 💰 I was able to fix the leaky cartridge today
Thx, Stan. You provided the concept so I pulled the old valve, then replaced the old valve and not leaking now. If it starts up leaking again then I'm ready mentally to pull it and match up an new one. Thank you again for uploading your tech skills.

This is a very helpful video. It had been so long since I have done this that I got every thing needed to make a repair. Thanks! Now...why do over 200 people find fault with a perfectly informative video, everything correct?
Angry plumbers maybe?
