There should be a small screw hole in the handle which you must loosen to remove the handle. Once you removed the handle you should be able to get to the cartridge. Make sure the water is off first :)

I don't know- heres what you do. Take a pic of the faucet & the pic on Amazon, then email Moen customer service. They helped me out of the same problem.

Probably would be best to contact a plumber or maybe someone in the plumbing department at Home Depot. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

If you mean the one on the bottom where the new filters go, i put some silicon grease on them and used the wrench as they suggested and snugged it, let it sit and snugged it again. I did not want to crack the case so made sure the threads aligned correctly and then did as you read. If you mean the one on the faucet, i took out the ring with the screen at the top and put in an over size washer to stop the leak on my delta faucet.

I've had my faucet installed since September of last year. I haven't had any issues with it at all and we are always in the kitchen. I would contact the manufacturer as it sounds like a defect in that faucet. Maybe they'd replace it for free? Good luck!

I never got to use it. It was leaking when I first hooked it up to the faucet. I sent it back. I will find another product later.

Turn off house water. Open faucet downstairs to remove pressure. Take out screws on cover then remove screws holding cartridge cover on. pulls right out. grease new with plumbers grease(silicone) and slide in. reverse order. several of these look similar. if its loose in housing or won't fit, don't force. get proper part.

I wish I knew, it is aggravating. The minute I start to use the faucet, it starts running. If you find a cure please post it.. Thanks

I so sorry to be slow in responding. As soon as I received your message, I called my plumber because I wanted to ask which specific part he purchased form Home Depot to close off the sprayer. But he is sick and hasn't returned my call. Anyway, to answer your question, I have one hole for my faucet and discarded the sprayer. It works great.

I have seen mixed opinions about the water flow. I personally had this same issue. But I took the filter off the faucet then took unscrewed the filter out of its housing and made sure all the water was out of filter then did the reinstall steps like I was puting a new filter in. I then put the fu lter back on the faucet. Then very slowly turned the water on to slowly fill the filter with water. And behold I got my flow back I had before. I think there was a air pocket in the filter. Give it a try see what you think. i hope this helps let me know.

Did you follow the instructions to clear the lines before installing the cartridge. Sometime a bit of mineral buildup in the lines can cause the unit not to seat properly. I did not have any problems with dripping on mine, it works just fine to this day. You may be able to redo the procedure from the step before inserting the main control cartridge making sure there is nothing getting caught up in the shutoff area of the cartridge.

If it happened quicky and 1) dishwasher flow appears ok and 2) no other flow problems in the house, cartridge is likley the culprit. Just the same, be sure to check that faucet screen didn't get clogged with something.

Sorry. I'm not a Plumber. But, I do recall reading there is a ring that controls the hot water setting on these faucets. I think that is separate from this cartridge. It is part of the assembly, but not apart of this cartridge. I bought this because our faucet was leaking and this cartridge fixed the leak.
