Some people have great difficultly replacing their moen cartridge and resort to either breaking the shower or faucet valve or having to call an expensive plumber. Do you think there is a better way that Moen could fix the faucet cartridge replacement process or do you think it should stay the way it is?
If you have any other moen cartridge questions, Please feel free to ask them as well, and I am sure someone will respond rather quickly!
I can’t get the retaining clip to go back in. What am I doing wrong ?
Hi Rick,
More than likely as long as the retaining clip has not been bent the cartridge just needs to be turned slightly to allow the clip to drop into place.
After the 1225 replacement, my leak in my single handle Moen faucet is fixed. The only problem is that the handle does not stay up by itself when the water is on — it drops down, shutting off the water. Is the problem with the cartridge? Could the replacement process have caused this problem? Thanks.
I replaced the cartridge in my single handle kitchen Moen faucet and now the hot water comes out of the cold side. What did I do wrong? (Please tell me I can fix this without taking that darn clip out!)
