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??
