Delta faucet not working | touch faucet blinking red light

- Delta touch faucets are awesome - so long as they work. But sometimes, out of the blue, they quit working. Our delta touch 2.0 faucet quit giving us nothing but three blinking lights at the faucet base when we touched it.
You can find Delta touch faucets online on Amazon or at the big box home improvement stores.

The possible issues when your touch 2.0 faucet quits are:
1) a problem with low batteries or an issue with the battery container. If the faucset is powered with a/c then you could check the plug as well as the circuit breaker to ensure it has not tripped turning off the faucet. If you see a red light blinking 3x when the faucet is touch, more than likely it is a battery issue.
2) outside a battery issue, you can check the wires going into the solenoid. They need to be securely plugged in.
3) Finally, the "C" clip on the metal threaded shaft below the faucet (under the counter) needs to be securely attached to that threaded metal shaft. That metal on metal connection allows the touch sensor to work.
Outside these three obvious fixes, you may want to contact Delta customer support for more unique issues and troubleshooting.

All that for a faucet! For convenience... right! And they call it progress. hahaha
Awesome!!!! I just called AHS to cancel the service; luckily, dispatching process had not gone through and I got $75 of service fee back. I had no clues about the batteries. I thought there was some plumbing issue causing the faucet not working. Thank you, so much 🙂

Hey James,
Thx for watching!
Thank you, super helpful, I just had to change the batteries
Great! Thx for watching!
Thanks for posting, mine was a simple battery change after almost 5 years. Wouldn’t give me water even manually even tho it was just batteries.
5yrs?? What batteries are you using? I might get a year out of mine. I’m using Energizer batteries. The faucet IS in the kitchen and used a lot.
Thank you!!
Glad it worked for you!
Thaaank you!
Glad to help! Thx for watching!
Nice guide

Hey Krazy,

Thank you! Saved our thanksgiving. The orange line attaching to the copper piping needed to be moved for a more solid connection!
Hey EBone,
Awesome! Thx for letting us know and for watching!
Thought I broke my pet sit client's faucet. It was just the batteries. Thanks for helping!
Hey Katy..,
Lol! Yeah, that would be a bit concerning. Thx for watching!
This worked
yay!
Thx for watching!
Thanks for that. Very helpful.
Surprised it runs on batteries and isn’t plugged into a wall - is there an engineering reason for this? Maybe grounding vs power source…just curious.
Hey Ian,
Not that I know. Probably convenience. I believe an ac adapter can be additionally purchased if you have room in the under sink outlet.
Thx for watching.
@@Housebarons Yup, mine plugs in....end of problems
Guy that installed mine put ONE AA BATTERY IN BACKWARD! It worked for a few days after installation and then quit. So remove batteries carefully noting the polarity of each - which is what I did. I'm not sure why it worked for even a few days!
Wow… thx for watching!
One more thing to check. The sprayer on mine plugged up and everything seemed to be fine except no water came out. Please add this to your video
Hey Bill,
Maybe next faucet… Thx for watching!
If you remove the clip holding the batteries you can use C batteries that will last years before needing to replace them
Thx for the tip !
How long should the batteries last? We’ve replaced the batteries in ours 3 times in just over a year. We’ve also had the whole battery pack and the cylinoid once. What gives? If I would have known that there was so many issues with this faucet I wouldn’t have picked it!
If you remove the plastic clip holding the batteries, you can use C batteries instead that will last for years
Just bought a home with one of these. Whatever advantage there is to paying nearly a thousand dollars for one versus a regular tape is beyond me.
Hey Harold..,
That certainly is NOT what we paid. But that aside. Talk to me in 3 months- they real do grow on you!!!!
Thx for watching!
my battery pack keeps popping open, is there a fix for that? the plastic piece on one end of the cylinder has a little piece of plastic that is shorter than the other end, does that matter? i don't have an outlet and this is my only option. thank you
Hey Joanne,
I just looked at mine- both sides are same size. Maybe yours broke? Could be differences in productions runs too… hard to say.
Easiest fix - good ole reliable gorilla tape ( or less strong duck tape ) .
Just push the top down tight and tape one side to the other over the top .
A little more work - contact customer support and see if they’ll send you out a new case.
Hope that helps!
Thx for watching!
Can you disconnect the batteries from it and use it as a normal Fossett?
I believe so. Contact delta customer service and check with them about your specific faucet.
Thx for watching.
My battery pack won't stay closed. Before I replaced the batteries it wasn't staying closed either. It popped open before I replaced the batteries too. Is it possible to bypass the system?
Hey Liz,
Delta does make a plug in adapter which eliminates the need for batteries.
Thx for watching!
Just got one of these faucets. The batteries are good, my handle is turned on. I see the light turn off and on whenever I touch the faucet or handle but the water is still running. I’ve checked all the troubleshooting options and I’m not sure how to proceed.
Hey Matt,
Oh- so fun. Not had that issue. Better to call delta- I’m sure they’ve heard it all.
Thx for watching!
@@Housebarons Thank you so much for getting back to me. I really appreciate that. I will definitely call Delta.
Have you resolved it? I’m having the same problem with mine, major delay every time I turn off.
@@antrinh9088 hello, I have the same issue you do/did...were you able to get this issue resolved? if so, how?
WHY
Ours takes 12!
Yikes! That’s a bunch!
And doesn’t have a nice slide out container!
Mine is such a piece of garbage.
Hey user…,
So sad. We love ours.
But thx for watching!
So you can't use the faucet without batteries. Worst design decision ever.
You've obviously never used one, it's a small price to pay a few batteries every 6 months or so to have a touch faucet. I smoked 5+ briskets and a hunch of other stuff every week for a couple years, and being able to operate the sink while your hands are gross is SUPER useful...just keep extra batteries...who doesn't have space batteries?
@@THEJavelinX No actually I have one, thanks for assuming. No the stupid thing is if the batteries run out and you don't have a battery, IT DOESN"T WORK AT ALL! That is the worst design ever. Fail to at least still get water out. Make it so the touch doesn't work, not that the faucet can't turn on at all.
So yes, worst design decision ever!
@SS Sandman but if you buy stuff that's essential that requires batteries, and then you fail to keep a deep stock of batteries...then you fucked up lol. Also, if the batteries died and you had none left, you could remove them, put them in the freezer for a little bit, then install them back in the sink, turn the touch sensor on so that it opens the valve inside the sensor, and then unplug it. If you remove power while the valve is open, it just stays open forever, which effectively turns the units into a normal manual kitchen faucet (source: I had to do it yesterday because my sensor is faulty, so I know it works lol)
@@THEJavelinX true, but just plug it in....ac adaptor
@@spsanders69 you can remove the batteries and it will work without touch
We had the same issue. I don’t know why these faucet morons don’t let us connect to a regular supply.
I hope nobody watching this needs that much instruction on changing the batteries. Otherwise good info, unfortunately it was no help to me. I wired in an AC adapter in order to not have to deal with batteries, so that's not the issue. It works inconsistently, you may have to try 10 times or more before it will decide to turn on or off. With the clip unhooked and just hanging, it works every time I touch the clip or even the wire, that surprised me since the wire is insulated. Any thoughts?
1) Move the clip up as high as you can on the shaft of the faucet. Believe it or not materiel your countertop of made of can cause issues. 2) Unhook your adapter and reinstall the batteries in the box. If this fixes the problem it's a problem with the adapter box itself 3) Call Delta and see if you can get a new Solenoid. Depending on the age of your faucet your Solenoid may not be combatable to the adaptor your using and you might need an updated one.
@@Tee1471 - It was doing the same thing before I got the adapter for it. I did try siding the clip up high and made sure the wire wasn't touching others. I believe it's granite, if it's an issue with the counter material is there a fix for it? Some way to insulate it?
This is the stupidest invention ever. I have to change the batteries once a month ridiculous.
Wow! Something isn’t right there. That is way too often. Check w/ Delta to troubleshoot,
Thx for watching!
Useless technology its so annoying even fully charged
