- It’s the dreaded drip sound of a leaky faucet. But before you grab your wallet and call a plumber, try to fix it yourself. In today’s “Fix It Friday”, an expert from Pioneer Ace Hardware shows us how to do just that. And, it’s not as hard as you think.

They don’t call them ACE for nothing thank you sir!
Great stuff. Thank you.
Great video. Went to Ace got the part. Mine was the bathroom sink faucet. I broke the first replacement because I did not notice the alignment notch on the replacement valve and the matching notch on the faucet. If they don't line up you end up with a leak. My handles were removed by an allen wrench on the back side.
I love Ace Hardware you guys are the best
Actually thank you very, very much bc I was about to go crazy trying to figure how to get my handle off bc there is no tab for a screw on top lol so I seen him use the Allen key so I went back and observed my handle better bc I was looking at the top and the bottom lol but the hot and cold aka red dot 🔴 and the blue dot 🔵 on the handles are a plug and you can take your fingernail an pop them out and bam you have access to your screw.. so thank you 😊 and now I need to walk literally 200 feet over to my ace hardware and get my cartridge
Thank you for sharing
Grasias por la explicacion❤
Miss fix it I need you!
What about the springs that came with the cartrige
On my cold water side water is dripping under the sink when the handle is turned on.
It drips directly from under the mounting nut. Any idea why?
You take the old one with you ( and what they didn't say) change the o- ring and the washers, then you can put the old one back in( with new washers) should stop leaks!!
Lol He didn't even try to determine whether it's the hot or the cold that's leaking! Chances are it's either one or the other that's leaking and not both. The first step should be the following:
1. As it is leaking, count how long it takes for a drip but it's not necessary. Just note that it drips!
2. Go under the cabinet and turn off either the hot or the cold but not both.
3. If your turn off the hot only and it stopped dripping, then it's the hot that's having problems.
4. If after turning off the hot and it's still dripping, ,turn off the cold. It should stop and the problem is the cold.
5. You can double check and turn the hot back on while the cold is off.
Btw, often there are very cheap washers you can replace and not the cartridge.
I’d add that, my practice is that, while I’m at it, change both. They’re both the same age and the other one may go soon too. As long as the cost isn’t terribly high, which I believe is the case here
Thanks - I was wondering about that!
There's nothing to determine when I push on the cold water handle it stops, when I release it it starts leaking again and the water is cold. I think we need another sock for you😂
I'm surprised he didn't cover the proper alignment of the piece.
....except when putting it back together, you said "you are gonna take the OLD one, and pop it back in" ???? I think you meant to say you take the NEW one and pop it in.
LOL at 2:11 - why would you want to put the OLD ONE back in?!?!?!
It's just a demonstration. Smh😒😒
I thought the same thing when I heard him say that! Haha!
How do you decide which side is causing the drip?
Turn off the cold first, if it leaks it's the cold, if it doesn't, it's the hot!
She makes this soo cheezy.
I cannot get the first step done the top part is unscrewed and it won't turn,
There are many other parte you got to replace. You did not show
Glingchi
makes no sense I am putting old back on with no changes???
He misspoke.
