Thanks for the tutorial. I just did this in ten minutes with one exception, instead of buying a new cartridge I carefuly opened it up by lifting the tabs on the side and using a q-tip to spread Vaseline all over the moving parts. Snapped it back together and good as new.

D Krugs, You'd be surprised how easy most household repairs are. Search YT for the problem you want to fix and there will probably a video about it, watch 2-3 popular ones in case one is easier than the others. You can do it !!!!!

Thank you too. Just replaced the cartridge just as you instructed. My only added tip to others who have this leaky faucet situation, unless already shared, is to plan ahead if you can and order the part early. Via Amazon, the part can be ~$20 as of this writing (Aug 2022). At the nearby hardware store, it was nearly $50 (which is what I paid for to achieve the immediate repair). Fixin-it, thanks again.

Fantastic video! My cartride decided to leak accumulating a small amount at the base on the top of the counter. Originally I thought the water was from splashing while doing dishes, but no matter how careful I was, the water would come back after running the water for several minutes. I used your video to replace the worn out cartridge after a trip to ace hardware, and the leak is gone for good. Thank you so much for this informative video! This annoyance is now solved, and if it ever happens again, I'll know exactly what to do.

Real nice for showing the disassembly. My handle had become hard to move, “sticky” and didn’t want to shut off. I removed the cartridge, moved the cartridge handle all around rapidly, flushed it out with water and repeated that process three or four times and it restored my cartridge function to like new again. I suspect that it was calcium and sediment buildup in the cartridge around the ball and seals and rapidly moving the handle around seems to have cleared it.

Thank you. We contacted Delta and they sent us a FREE replacement part. Your video made it easy for my hubby to fix the faucet which was not only dripping but near impossible to adjust the handle right or left (very stiff and squeeky) . We had to find the "sweet spot" to stop the water from dripping or outright flowing out of this faucet. When we removed the part, it was covered with some light green colored tarnish maybe? I don't know what caused that but thinking maybe hard water? Anyway your tutorial was concise, clear and easy to follow. BIG THANKS FROM NJ

Great video straight to the point! Took me a while to get the allen screw out, mine has a lot of scale and was stuck. The only recommendation I would give is to maybe add that if one is having issues with that to add some vinegar to the hole with the screw then let it sit for an hour and scrape out the lime scale with a tooth pick. After that it took some more elbow grease hit I finally got it off. Then your instructions worked like a charm and now it works like new. Thank you!

Thanks for this. Only one thing I would add - at the 1:09 mark, you can briefly see the odd shaped orange "washer" on the bottom of the cartridge. His new cartridge came with the washer, but mine did not. So, don't throw out the old cartridge until you confirm that your new one came with the washer.

You lucked out. The set screw in my handle was basically fused to the handle body and I ended up spending hours trying to get it out, finally drilling it out. Now I have to tap new threads, buy a whole new handle, or just get an entire new faucet. None of these are good options for what should have been a quick easy repair.

Lots of Delta faucets have a Lifetime Parts Warranty, call Delta, and if your model is included (Like mine) they will send you a cartridge totally free for life. Tag with model # is attached to the hot water supply line under sink. Be sure to use the sink stopper to not loose the screw or other parts. I put anti seize on the little screw threads to make it easy next time, for me or who ever.

Thanks for this. Mine wasn't leaking; just not operating smoothly. Some tips: To make it easier to remove the cap, use a rubber jar gripper. On the the nut, use an adjustable wrench, to avoid mangling the nut. It's a 1-1/4" nut, and my 12-inch adjustable wrench opened up just enough to fit. You can use grey ScotchBrite (from the auto parts store, or an auto body supply company) with white vinegar to clean the nut and the inside of the faucet. I also put silicone grease on the outside of the nut when reassembling, and on the orange gasket on the bottom of the new cartridge, to keep the gasket from falling off when installing the cartridge.
