Expertise
Pretty much any residential plumbing questions. Note: I live and work in Southern California. We do not as a rule use boilers, hot water or steam heating systems or wells so my knowledge in those areas is limited. There are others here that can probably answer those questions better. "We all is city folk" out here! What is a "well" LOL

Plumbing in the Home - Leaky Kitchen Faucet

Expert: Dana Bostick - 11/6/2009

Question
When I turn off the hot water the handle will not stop and the water keeps running. I have to pull the handle back into position to stop the water. Is there some way to fix this without replacing the whole faucet? There are two handles and a spigot. It is Moen.

Answer
Hi Cindy,
Sounds like you need a new cartridge for the faucet. You do not need to replace the whole faucet. I would replace both sides at the same time to be sure of long service. You will need the model number to find the right ones.
Contact Moen directly for help identifying the faucet. Call: 1-800-BUY-MOEN (1-800-289-6636)
8:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday thru Friday
8:00 am to 6:30 pm on Saturdays EST

Good Luck,
Dana
