today we're going to be replacing the cartridge inside my sink right here I've got a little slow
drip leak that's been annoying me and since this thing is a mowing it has a lifetime warranty you
should be able to contact Moen through their website and have them send you a new cartridge
all you need to know is the model your faucet and which cartridge it uses if you guys have a
Vos 6901 like I do you'll notice that there's no set screw or anything to remove the handle
So today we're going to go ahead and remove this handle because I've got a leaking faucet and I
gotta replace the cartridge in here this is the Vos 6901 and I believe many of the other moans
may have the same design where you have to unscrew this thing to get to the cartridge and then remove
the handle before we even start we want to go ahead and turn off the water down here both the
hot and the cold water so that way you don't leak anything fill stuff everywhere just turn the knob
to lock it and close it off once you have it closed just open these things up make sure you
get all the water and the pressure out of it and you should be able to start unscrewing everything
so the Vos 6901 has one of two cartridges that fit it the one two three four and the one two
two four I wasn't sure which one mine used since I didn't open it first so they sent me both of them
but I believe mine uses the one two two four which is the white one here I believe the one
two three four cartridge also fits I think the only difference is there's an extension needed
right there on the metal part which the one two two four already has built in sort of to
remove the actual handle and everything you got to actually spin this part right here
spin the whole thing and it all comes off in one piece and that's how you actually get this thing
off that's what it was getting to me when I was trying to figure out what was going on and how
you got this thing off so I just did a little try on error and I figured this out so the whole thing
comes off in one piece so you can see inside this thing the actual handle it's got a screw
right there that's how it stays on and it just spins inside this overall flange and that's how
you take it apart so right now we're in here and this thing is right there so there's a little ring
on here that you have to unscrew to take this whole cartridge out so we're gonna go ahead
and unscrew that ring so I've just got my little adjustable just get it kind of fitted onto there
just unscrews then you can do the rest by hand
and once the ring comes off then you can kind of just wiggle this thing out if you want to
just take this o-ring and everything off first just to make sure everything's out of the way
this is a good chance to clean all this Grime and everything that's built up over the years
to remove it you could just also take your adjustable put it right along there and just
try to pull it straight up there's a little I got a little bit loosened with that so we'll
just go ahead and take a flat head and just kind of wedge it the rest of the way foreign
should be able to take that out we'll let this drain a little bit
just wipe everything down this thing's still full of water I wasn't sure what's really
causing the leak the O-rings look good there is a little bit of grime and build up calcium
buildup right there on the O-ring and that might have been causing the leak so either way we got a
new one from Moen under warranty and we'll go ahead and replace it we're gonna put the new
one in there is a little Notch right here as you can see and that matches the notch on here
foreign
press it in put the old lock ring back in
and wipe it up put your o-ring back onto there and then get this thing back on
CE you figure out the orientation of the handle just match that with the one on here foreign
once you get it on you want to make sure that you have good resistance on your handle and
it's not too tight or too loose once we got everything back on if you have to replace
the other side go ahead and do the exact same thing to replace the other side and turn the
water back on there we have it guys repaired my faucet no more leaks I've been sitting here
