Moen Bathroom Sink Faucet Cartridge

Moen bathroom sink faucet cartridges are an important part of the faucet's overall functionality. They control the flow of water and allow you to adjust the water temperature. If your Moen bathroom sink faucet is leaking or not working properly, it may be time to replace the cartridge.

Replacing a Moen bathroom sink faucet cartridge is a relatively easy task that can be completed in about 30 minutes. Here are the steps on how to do it:

Turn off the water supply to the faucet. There are usually two shut-off valves under the sink, one for the hot water and one for the cold water. Turn both valves clockwise to shut off the water supply.
Remove the aerator. The aerator is the small, screen-like device on the end of the faucet spout. Use a wrench to unscrew the aerator and remove it from the faucet.
Unscrew the cartridge cap. The cartridge cap is the large, round cap that is located at the base of the faucet handle. Use a wrench to unscrew the cartridge cap and remove it from the faucet.
Pull out the old cartridge. The old cartridge is now exposed. Grip the cartridge with your fingers and pull it straight out of the faucet body.
Insert the new cartridge. Take the new cartridge and insert it into the faucet body. Make sure that the cartridge is properly seated in the faucet body.
Screw on the cartridge cap. Tighten the cartridge cap onto the faucet body using a wrench.
Screw on the aerator. Screw the aerator back onto the faucet spout using a wrench.
Turn on the water supply to the faucet. Turn both shut-off valves counterclockwise to turn the water supply back on.
Check for leaks. Open the faucet and check for any leaks. If there are any leaks, tighten the cartridge cap or the aerator until the leaks stop.

Replacing a Moen bathroom sink faucet cartridge is a relatively easy task that can be completed in about 30 minutes. By following these steps, you can save yourself the time and expense of calling a plumber.
