    I was about to purchase a new sprayer. I noticed a lot of reviews complaining that new sprayers were sticking again after just a few months. I finally found this video which is just what I needed. Thanks for posting this.

    I was about to punch a hole in the wall, sat down with one needle nose pliers and took a deep breath and watched this video, worked like a charm, ty Donco!!!!

    Even though my Moen side sprayer was a different model, the bits inside were close enough to figure it out. Once I removed the plunger and applied a little silicone grease around the two o-rings, it worked as it should. I am amazed how one can find a video fix on anything and everything these days.

    Thank you for posting this video (For models like mine you use a hex wrench to unscrew and remove the bottom pieces.) Stretched the spring out pretty aggressively (approximately 1/4 inch longer than when removed) and now it works better than when installed.

      Yep stretching the spring definitely did the trick, thanks!!

    @patrickgrengs7594 18 дней назад

    Thanks a grand for the visual instructions. My Moen model was slightly different; but close enough to follow the steps. I soaked all the parts in vingar, overnight; then I stretched out that spring and now I am back in business.

  • @dandiego7298
    @dandiego7298 Год назад +3

    Like many others have mentioned, big thanks for this video.
    A couple notes: Our Moen spray head is a newer model and slightly different than your example. Close enough, though, as the plunger was the problem.
    An Allen/hex key was needed to remove the threaded piece. There was no screen and the spring was opposite the way yours went it (I did stretch it out, through). Lastly, I soaked all parts in vinegar and that did it.
    Our spray head now works better than new!

    THANK YOU so much for your video!! My sprayer got stuck on in the middle of the night, and I was freaking out. I didn't have silicone lubricant, but a coconut and aloe based waterproof lip balm I had finally did the trick to get that nozzle to release. I don't think I'll be touching the sprayer ever again, but I'm glad I can use my faucet now. ❤️

  • @SuperHondo21
    @SuperHondo21 4 месяца назад +1

    I had a replacement Moen sprayer assembly that I only installed less than a year ago, but it started sticking recently and today it wouldn't release at all. So I followed your steps here. There was no grit or anything obvious in there, but using a little silicon and slightly stretching the spring seems to have done the trick and got that plunger working smoothly again. Good to go now. Thanks!

    THANKS!!!! I was able to disassemble and cleaned a bit around the plunger, but didn't remember how to re-assemble. Your video was the only one I could find to help with re-assembly! Sprayer works great!

  • @billclark3236
    @billclark3236 Год назад

    THANK YOU so much for this wonderful explanation of how to repair the sprayer. My faucet is a Moen Whitmore, and the sprayer is one piece, if you can believe it, so the end of it does not unscrew. I was able to remove the entire sprayer head from the hose, however, and run vinegar through it, put some silicone lubricant inside, and then reassemble it. It works perfectly! I was shocked, because it didn't feel complicated enough to have done anything productive, y'know? I wouldn't have had the courage to tackle this repair if it hadn't been for your video. Thank you again. You explain everything so well, with terminology anyone can understand. I appreciate your taking the time to do this and help others.

    You are a hero. I want to buy you a virtual beer for saving my sanity. Thank you!!!
    p.s. As someone else mentioned below, depending on your model you may need a hex wrench to remove the bottom part before being able to reach the spring mechanism, vs. what is shown in the video.

  • @KayElayempea
    @KayElayempea 2 года назад +1

    I have a slightly different moen spray nozzle model and you need an allen wrench to remove the part which holds the spring in. I didn't have any silicon grease, so I just cleaned the assembly with a little lime-away, it is a partial fix until I can get the grease. Thanks for the video it was a great help!

    Very helpful! I have a new Moen model and the inside appears to be all one piece. I cannot remove the O-ring, as there isn't even access to it. However, by you demonstrating everything, I was able to take this apart and apply some lubricant to the piece that should depress and so far, so good! This may only be a temporary fix, but I'm happy! Thanks again!

    Even though the little thing the plunger sits down in on mine was a tad different. It looked like a certain sized hex key might fit down in mine so I very gently tried it, it worked perfectly and I was able to take it apart and clean it, with a little straw brush and some dish liquid the reassembled and seems to be working perfectly now! Thank you for the help! Saved me 30.00! 🙌🏻 I'm heading tofind some silicone based lubricant and I will come home and apply a bit of that down I there as well to hedge my bets! Much appreciated this little video!

  • @amundsen575
    @amundsen575 6 лет назад +14

    good vid, Also you can pull the screen out with a pick and then use a 1/4" allen key to unscrew the bottom washer that holds the valve together.

    • @michaelrobinson3921
      @michaelrobinson3921 3 года назад +2

      Agreed! Maybe this varies between models, but I found this to be the case as well with my model, which I think is the same model as the one in the video but with a brushed nickel finish. I was able to remove the screen with a sewing pin and tweezers, and then the plastic piece beneath it has an Allen Key wrench hole in the middle of it and screws out very easily that way. I just wish I had come down here and read the comments at that point, I spent a good hour trying to unscrew the plastic screen holder, not realizing the screen just lifts right out of it.

  • @PastTime777
    @PastTime777 7 месяцев назад

    Thanks so much for this video and the comments. My sprayer is a newer model. As stated below, you'll need an hex key to get the plastic part out of the bottom, instead of removing a screen. This part unscrews, then comes out. Then you can take the assembly out from the top. After that you can push the plunger out from the top with your finger. Put some silicone on the o-rings, stretch the spring, put it back together, and you're done.

  • @exJacktar
    @exJacktar 4 года назад +8

    Thanks for the directions. I did find, however, if you take out the screen on the insert in the base plug of the handle, the opening underneath is ready for an Allen Key. When it's time to reassemble, the screen pops right back in after you tighten the base plug. If you don't have any silicone lubricant, l recommend you go to the hardware store and not ask at the drugstore. Being a Sunday afternoon, the hardware stores locally were closed and the nearest Home Depot that had the right stuff was an hour away. I thought I'd try the drugstore on the way first on the off chance. The only lubricant they had was of the K-Y type, neither the assistant nor myself were sure if it would work anyhow but my holding the box and asking her gave her, her laugh of the afternoon (she's known my wife and I for many years)...

    Yes, just remove the little screen and then you can use an Allen key(as mentioned) to remove the black threaded insert rather than the reverse pliers.

    Re-assembled and works like a charm!

    This is what I LOVE about RUclips and thank God for - 9 out of 10 times - if you have an issue with something and need to fix it yourself, you can look on here and someone will have a video showing you how to do whatever it is. My sprayer got stuck and wouldn't stop spraying no matter what I did. So I prayed - because I was dreading that it might be something I had to hire someone to fix and The Lord led me to this video. I had to watch it a few time - cuz mine is a little different than yours, but I got the gist of it - and I was able to pull it apart and clean everything out (although I didn't see anything IN it but I guess there may have been some tiny rocks or something, I dunno) and reassemble and now it works as intended! Just goes to show - answers to prayer don't always have to be supernatural or miracles - they can be as practical as looking up a tutorial!! Thanks a bunch!

    I wish you had shown all of the steps you did instead of breaking away to the next step. However this was helpful. Maybe I can stop getting sprayed in the belly when I get up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water

    Just wanted to say that if you don’t have the right size Allen wrench or if a butter knife is it fitting in that tight space. You can use a fat/bigger flathead screwdriver if you have one. Worked for me.
