EASY FIX! Kitchen Faucet Leaking? How to fix a leaky kitchen faucet in 1 minute 

My tenant just knocked on my door 30 minutes ago with a fairly large leak... I watched this... went to true value and fixed it all in 30 minutes! Thanks for the help! 🙂

I fixed my sink with your help! Considering it's taken my super two+ months to get back to me about my stove hood fan sounding like a machine gun, I went to RU-vid instead of him for the sink problem. And RU-vid definitely provided, yours was the first recommended video, and I'm glad! I def wish I could give you more than a thumbs up, my man, you saved my sanity! Big thanks!

Thank you! Because of your site, I realized my faucet handles were screwed on too loosely so were inadvertently not being turned off all the way each time. It explained why sometimes it didn't leak & sometimes it did! Thanks again. Had just recently replaced both cartridges!

One in-between step to consider....when you pull the cartridge out there is an o ring on the bottom that may have been compressed too far, letting water pass. Cheaper than a whole cartridge but harder to get the correct size. But if you have an off brand or old faucet the store may not carry the cartridge for it. Just take the o ring or whole cartridge with for sizing.

This helped me so much. No broken parts just needed to be tightened inside. Thank you!

Great video. Very helpful and informative to someone that has never done this.

I learned 2 thing from this video How to fix the leak and clean hard water build up with vinager. Your voice is clear very easy to understand. Very good quality video

Thank you for the quick fix and easy to follow video! Worked like a charm!

This is an amazing video!! I had no idea it was that easy and I can't wait to try it in my my kitchen Thank you so much for making the video

Thank you . I’m a 77 year old lady and was able to fix leak

Awesome sauce! Mines been dripping slowly for a while. Thanks so very much!!!

It worked! Holy smokes! I thought this was going to be a major overhaul and probably mean replacement of this faucet. I live in a house that was built in 1959 and I'm pretty sure the sink and the plumbing are original. If not they're still at least 40 or so years old. It went from a steady drip to now a drip every minute or so. I'm probably still going to need to replace it at some point, but this helps stem the serious waste of water (and my community is under water restrictions right now because of a major forest fire that has wrecked our watershed). Thank you so much for this video!

Had a leaky faucet now for about 2 weeks - got tired of it, and checked You Tube - clicked on your Channel, went back to the kitchen and did what you said. Result: no more dripping (and wasted water), situation restored. Thank you - I was using bottled water to wash my dishes... Thank you very much - things are now so much better because of you. Thanks!

OMG, I have a leaky faucet exactly like this too. I'm gonna give this a try. Thank you so much for the instruction video. It's super-helpful.

Talk about saving money thanks homie

Just took your advice and it worked like a charm!

He did fine. Helped me out perfectly. Thanks for the help. Fixed my tap with your advice.

I'm heading into the kitchen right now! Thanks so much for posting!

Thank you!! Had a plumber in a while back and After that it’s been leaking-I’m thinking he didn’t tighten that enough!!! If that hadn’t happened here I would have never known that it could be just tightening something! Thank you so much

I bought a new kitchen faucet because the old one had a sprayer that was no good and I tried to repair the sprayer and couldn't. The sprayer connection to the faucet was very specific...the push to connect type and for some reason I could not buy the sprayer itself and trying to repair the sprayer itself was a nightmare. So I caved in and bought a whole new faucet with a new sprayer. After installing the new faucet, I had this exact problem. Hot water side would leak when fully closed. However, if you turned the hot water control slightly on, it would stop leaking. I did exactly what you did in this video but I pulled the cartridge completely out. I was worried that I wasn't going to get the cartridge back in but I got it and tightened the nut. It fixed the problem! That was all thanks to this very video. A little guidance from people in the know goes a very long way. Thank you a ton!

Thank you! Your video helped me fix my faucet and save me from buying a new one! 👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you so much, you were right, just tightening that outer nut stopped the leak! And I was glad I got away without having to replace the whole cartridge... that saved me from having to turn the water off underneath, which was great because some of those old valves under there sometimes leak after messing with them.

Great video!! I follow the steps to check my leaking faucet cartridge before going to the store, just tightened and leak is gone.

This worked so well! I just wiped down the area under the know rhen reseated the o ring and it's not leaking anymore. Thanks!

The vinegar was a good idea. Tightening it didn’t work. I’m took apart the cartridge and let it soak in vinegar for 10 minutes. Put it back together and it works now. Thanks

Thanks! I do this every couple of years but I always ck videos to refresh my memory. Last time I just installed a new faucet but it's leaking again after 4-5 yrs.

Thanks! It looks a lot easier than I was expecting.

Thank you. I haven't done this in years and this reminded me of the steps.

On my case I felt around inside ring where cartridge seats. There was a burr maybe water deposit, even felt like metal. I used a standard head screwdriver to smooth out around inside ring. Replaced everything, took off screen so whatever I knocked off would clean out. All worked, no leak. Good video

Thank you so much you saved me at a minimum $75 for the cheaper kind of faucet such as you showed on your website I had the same kind of faucet which my wife prefers to the single handle type and figured I'd have to buy a new one but thought I would try the RU-vid to see if there was a repair it was so easy my problem was I hadn't been able to spot that little allen wrench socket underneath the actual turning part of the faucet and so when I did and unscrewed it I had a slightly different type of set up than you have but it was still so easy a 1-minute fix as you had said and I had it all back together again in no time and not a single leak and I thank you from the bottom of my heart and after reading some of the mean comments that you got I just can't believe what this world is coming to the type of people we have in here and you are certainly amazing and and the like one of the commenters said you have them a clear voice a very good video and it was excellent thank you so much

Perfect. Took me less than 10 minutes to fix my issue! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this. You taught me so much and now it's fixed. God speed.❤

Thank you sooooooo much!!!❤❤ 🙋‍♀️🗽 A 73 year old native NYC girl!

just did it and it works!!! thank you!!!

Thanks I've been putting this off for months, thought it would be a major pain. Much appreciated

Thank you! Fixed my leak. Liked and subscribed!

Worked for me. Saved me from replacing the whole faucet.

That hex shaped thingy (often called an Allen screw) will be lost down the drain unless you put the stoppers in both drains or cover them with dishrags.And it's best to turn off both water feeds.

Thank you your video helped 100% I was able to fix it today and saved alot of money 💰 🤗

Thank you so much. My faucet have been dropping for a while. I am going to do this to my kitchen faucet.

AWESOME! Great video👍 Thanks for your help😉

Thank you very much. I would pay $350 for fixing if not seen your video. I fixed it for $4.84. You guys doing an awesome job.

This helped me right away, did it in less than 3 mins!!! Thank you

You make it look easy.

You know what you are talking about for sure and I like that

Totally worked. Thanks!

While I was able to get the handle and lug nut off, I can't get the cartridge out. It's really stuck. And now I can't get the handle back on. But glad your vid seems to have helped others.

Thanks for the video! It helped a lot

Thank you I'll try to fix this myself , it looks pretty easy thank you for making this video ...from the guy Bette Midler rubbed her feet so close too..... ..

I suggest a wrench vice pliers as the brass fittings are sensitive

Super helpful, thanks!

Thanks for your help

Super helpful thanks so much

Thanks!!! Been dealing with that annoying kitchen drip for months, I just fixed it literarily in under a minute.

My bathroom sink has been dripping for ages. On my tap, there’s a cap with a Philips head screw to remove it, but it should be the same under that. Going to take care of it after work today!

Well that was easy and it totally worked 😊

Great. Just what I needed. So how do I know which handle to tighten? Thank you

Excellent video thanks a ton.👍👍👍

Thanks dude saved me a trip to the hardware store just tighten it up and it stopped the leak

Love this video, it's easy to follow. I was able to remove the screw with the Allen Wrench. My faucet looks the same as the one shown but the handle is not coming off. Any ideas?

This helped. Thanks.

Thank you - I changed my aerator in my bathroom faucet. Now there is a bit of (small) leak of water when I run the faucet. It wasn't doing this before I changed the aerator? Thank you!

Ok thank you very much

Thks

Thanks!

Nice electric outlet placement. Genius!

Channel Locks are expensive but incredibly handy tool for doing valves. Slip lock might work but it will make you appreciate better tool.

Great video! My bathroom Faucet, the hot water handle to close is counterclockwise , while the cold water handle is clockwise to turn off.... Is this right?

Thanks dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My faucet leaked bad so I replaced it, but the old one was this exact unit, so they stink after 4 years or so.
