How To Repair A Moen Bathroom Faucet

Moen bathroom faucets are known for their quality and durability, but even the best faucets can develop problems over time. If your Moen bathroom faucet is leaking, dripping, or not working properly, don't despair. With a few simple tools and a little know-how, you can repair it yourself.

Before you begin, gather the following tools and materials:

Phillips screwdriver
Flathead screwdriver
Adjustable wrench
Replacement cartridge (if necessary)
Plumber's putty
Rags

Once you have gathered your tools and materials, follow these steps to repair your Moen bathroom faucet:

Turn off the water supply to the faucet. There should be two valves under the sink, one for hot water and one for cold water. Turn both valves clockwise to shut off the water.
Open the faucet to release any remaining water. This will help prevent water from leaking out when you remove the faucet.
Remove the faucet handle. The handle is usually held in place by a screw. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw.
Remove the faucet stem. The stem is the part of the faucet that controls the flow of water. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the packing nut that holds the stem in place.
Inspect the stem. If the stem is worn or damaged, it will need to be replaced.
If the stem is not damaged, reassemble the faucet in reverse order. Apply a small amount of plumber's putty to the packing nut before tightening it.
If the stem is damaged, replace it with a new one. To do this, remove the old stem and insert the new stem into the faucet body. Tighten the packing nut to secure the stem.
Reassemble the faucet in reverse order. Apply a small amount of plumber's putty to the packing nut before tightening it.
Turn on the water supply to the faucet and check for leaks. If there are any leaks, tighten the packing nut until the leak stops.

If you have followed these steps carefully, you should now have a repaired Moen bathroom faucet.
