Here's a tip that helped me fix my Moen faucet. I tried the advice in the video and pulled the spring apart, reinstalled everything, turned on the water, and it was better but it was still spraying on both sides at the same time (stream and main sprayer). I uninstalled the sprayer head again and took everything apart, but this time I took the good spring from the top button and switched it over to the bottom button, and vice versa. This fixed my problem. On my faucet the top button just shuts off the sprayer water completely. I never use that feature, so I'm fine if the top button has the damaged spring. Thanks for posting this vid and showing everyone how to disassemble the faucet head.
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks Lex. My faucet is doing this and I was going to replace it today. This saved me a few dollars. Keep the videos coming.👍
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching Frank!
Hey big dog another easy money repair. Your videos are very interesting and clever. Learning how to fix things around the house. Thanks!
Right on Terry! Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks Lex. I've never seen a faucet sprayer being serviced before. Looks easy after seeing the video.
Thank you so much for watching LoveTheSun!
The wealth of knowledge you possess is astounding. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you so much for watching Brian!
Im a big fan of repair instead of replace, even if the new one is only 20 bucks.
This fixed my problem, thanks man

Awesome video man, I also added silicone faucet grease to all the o-rings and slide surfaces and have not had anymore issues
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching!
Our rental Moen (ASME) model a112.18.1m less than 2 years old rendered the top button in-operable. Slightly different style than above but managed to get the cylinder out and stretched both springs. We are on a water filtration system so no sludge or calcium whatsoever. Yahoo! Thanks a bundle.
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for this video. This happens often, and I was sick of calling the landlord. I just fixed it myself. 😊 I appreciate you!
Nice fix! Thank you so much for watching!
thank you so much! I was able to fix my new granite glacier bay spring (button) that was stuck on spray WITH YOUR HELP!!!!! The stream was no longer working after 2 months. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!
Nice fix , Heather! Thank you so much for watching!
God, I have 25 years in industrial maintenance and 10 in property maintenance and this sprayer assembly had be stoked. Who would think that the 2 switches pull out ?! I guess I was expecting something more heavy-duty beside friction fit. 😂
Thank you so much for watching!
Another fix under your belt, at least there’s no blue stuff involved in this fix. Lol. Good job! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching Phillip!

Have a totally different faucet but the spring was not on. Wouldn't have known to even look for a spring ... thanks !!
Thank you so much for watching!
I am my own maintenance today 💪🏾 will try, thanks
Thank you so much for watching S M!
While popping off the buttons they broke slightly and I lost a little bit of plastic on each of them but luckily they clicked back in and seem stable enough. If those buttons are the only parts I have to repair no biggie. This video helped a lot thank you!
Thank you so much for watching!
You can also get some faucet grease and apply it to the rubber washers on both button valves. Just repaired mine but I didn’t need to stretch the spring. Thanks for the video 👌🏼
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow , neat little trick ... You learn something every day ... Thx ...
Good to hear from you Eddy!
My facet looks different but close enough to yours. Thank you stretching the springs out fixed it!
Nice fix! Thank you so much for watching!
Exactly the video I needed. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for the info on how to remove the head. I didn't want to take it apart without trying something easier. I soaked the head in vinegar for 3 hours and then scrubbed off the left over minerals with a toothbrush. It works again and looks brand new.
Thank you so much for watching!
We’re visiting my sister in law and her faucet just quit working , I did this and now it’s working fine , THANK YOU

In a perfect world your employer would use your videos as proof of the advantages of renting from your apartments and would compensate you for the added value you provide.
I agree! Thank you so much for watching Big N8!
Super helpful amigo

Perfect. Did the trick exactly.

Saved me 100.00 thank you
I love it! Thank you so much for watching Melodye!
This was great. What kind of wrench - or precaution - did you use to loosen the sprayer head from the hose without scratching the chrome?
Most just hand tighten on and off. No wrench needed. Channel locks will do though if you need pliers to get it off. Use a rag to wrap it so it won't get scratched. Thank you so much for watching!
And you, my friend, are a true hero🫡
Thank you so much for watching!
Lex I don’t care what your wife says you da man! LOL 😂😂 great video TomC.
👍😆👍 Thank you so much for watching Tom!
This really works!

Good job!
Thank you so much for watching Dan!
@@LexVance You are welcome!
Yay,,,, way to go!
Thank you so much for watching!
I have a pulldown faucet similar to the one in your video. When I turn the water on it defaults to sprayer. Can I change it to default to a stream when turning on instead?
I don't think so. It may need replacing. It screws off and a new screws back on. They're not much money. Thank you so much for watching!
Love it
Thank you so much for watching!
Awesome! Does the spring have a part number?
It probably does. You might have to try to call the manufacturer, reuse the current one by re-stretching it or just use another similar size/tension spring.
Yes, you would need to find it online or call the manufacturer. Good to hear from you Gator!
Hope you’re having a good day Lex. I have a question for you since you have way more experience than me. When is it time to find a different property to work on? I’m at a 20 year old property, I’m the only tech. Supervisor is always busy or out with health issues. Company isn’t finding any employees to help out. Place is falling apart because previous maintenance weren’t doing their job correctly. Do I stay and try to fix this place or do I find something easier for me?
If I were you, I would leave. Google 4 and 5 star properties and go apply at them. That's what I did. 4 and 5 star properties are usually taken care of. Everyone is looking for a good tech now days so you shouldn't have any problems getting hired. Thank you so much for watching Mike!
@@LexVance thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I really appreciate it. I’m leaning towards leaving. Stuck here alone today and forced to go back on call cause supervisor has health issues. I feel like I’m working in quick sand at this place.
I saw the white calcium on faucet spout what do you recommend for that
Thanks & subscribed 🎉
I take the rough side of a sponge and wipe it off. I believe CLR will take it off if it's hard to get off. Thank you so much for watching Mauna!
Mercy thanks that was fast💥
I’ll try it👍🏼
Soak entire head in white vinegar. Place in baggie with rubber hand holding it on tight, so the head is fully submerged. Soak for a few hours, or even overnight, scrub with brush, and most or all should come off.
I have a Kraus but I think the sprayer body may pop out the same way. For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get it apart!
Thank you so much for watching!
Any advice if both stream and spray are running at the same time. Buttons appear to be working but faucet won’t switch when pushed.
I'd replace the sprayer and be done with it. Thank you so much for watching David!
@@LexVance Thank you, I appreciate your help!
when i fixed everything’s and put it back small streams of water came out where you attach/detach the hose and faucet head
Oh no. Unscrew and make sure the gasket is on correctly.
Mine's a single button. I'll try this today. Any advice? Thanks mate
I hope everything works out for you! 🤞
@@LexVance tysm sir 😊🙏
Genius
Good to hear from you Michael!
Qik question: About how long does this fix typically hold up for, before it needing to be tuned up again? Thanks.
I've got some I did 2 years ago that are still going good.
@@LexVance excellent. Just doing a mental cost/benefit analysis of a quick repair vs a replacement, based on longevity of the qik repair. Def seems like the quick repair is worth a first try... Thanks!
@@LexVanceWhen you say two years, is that by doing what you did to the spring to when you end up replacing the spring? Or is it from replacing a spring to when you need a new sprayer? Thanks!
A quick question if anyone knows. I have an ac unit & when the sun hits it the compressor won’t kick on until I hose off the coils a little then works fine. My fan seems like it’s moving slow. Could the fan be the issue.
Sounds like the fan isn't keeping it cool and the compressor is shutting off because it gets too hot. I hope everything works out for you This Guy! 🤞
@@LexVance Appreciate the response. Thank you.
Can’t get the housing off of mine to get to the buttons. The buttons will not depress far enough for me to remove the housing.
Sometimes I have to push the pull a little to get them out. I don't get too rough but I do get a little rough. 😆
👍🤘
Good to hear from you Joe!
Locknut 👍
That's it! 😆 Thank you so much for watching C Deese!
Life hack, I took all the parts off and put in a jewelry cleaner with multi use CLR and watched the rust and calcium just fall off
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching!
😊
Thank you so much for watching!
They don’t even sell single function sink heads anymore because they want people to just keep replacing them when they malfunction
So true! Thank you so much for watching!
i usually buy another house.
👍😆👍
