Hello

After all the hype I heard about Moen. Buy for Looks, Buy for Life. After the last Price Pfister kitchen sink faucet failed we purchased a Moen. Ok, for a few years now it is leaking at the base.

I had the Allen wrench, so I removed the cartridge part # 4000.

The faucet I believed was purchased at Lowes and is exactly like the one they still sell for $98.00 see 2st and 3rd pics below.
I went back to Lowe's and showed the cartridge to the guy and he said he never saw one before. Wish I could get a little more help than that sometimes!! So I looked and saw 2 cartridges that were larger, one for Aqualine and one for American Standard but no such luck buying the cartridge for the faucet they still sell!!

Many Internet stores have it such as:
http://www.amazon.com/Moen-Replacement-Cartridge-One-handle-Faucet/dp/B0033YO7CW

However when I fix a faucet and I have it all apart I usually go to a local store and pick up the part so I can finish the job and put things back together! Is that asking too much?

Does any one know if they still sell these locally?

Would getting new washers as shown in the pics below be an impossible task?

In the meantime I put it back together tight and just maybe that will fix it??

Call the faucet company. Have the model numbers etc. and when and where you made the purchased. Most will send you a new part with no charge. You'll get it by mail in a few days or so. Be safe.

Thanks colebrookman

I will try that.

Home Depot does not have the Moem cartridge although the blue glacier bay in upper left looks very close!

Thanks I changed it. :)
 
I got mine at the local Ace, might even be the same one. Been a while I forget. The rubber o rings can be gotten ad HD or any hardware store.

Hi Lighting Up

So here is the part on the Moen web site $11.65
http://www.moen.com/replacement-parts/search

So if I call the number do I get it for free?
Does the Total -- when ordering on the web mean it is free also?

Hello

Just got off the phone with toll free Moen support. 1-800-289-6636

They need some type of proof that you have their faucet.

So if you have any paperwork you can give them the model #

If not you can email or MMS a picture of the faucet right from your computer or picture phone.

The email address is [email protected]. I just emailed the pics I posted.

The phone # to send pics from your phone is 440-731-1858

You must tell them what is wrong and they decide what parts you need to fix it. They will send you the parts for FREE !!!

I told them the faucet was leaking at the base and Rachael said she would send the appropriate O rings to fix it. It takes about 10 days unless you want to pay for faster delivery. I will wait the 10 days.

Thanks so much everyone for your help!!!

One other thing stick with it even if that does not fix your problem, they will and have with mine send you a replacement faucet if needed. You paid for that warranty so use it, all you need is time and patience.
