If you have a Moen 7590 kitchen faucet and are experiencing leaks, you are not alone. This issue is a common one among Moen 7590 owners. Leaks can be frustrating and can even damage your kitchen sink and countertop. Fortunately, this problem can be solved with a few simple steps.
Identifying the Problem
The first step in fixing your Moen 7590 leak is to identify the source of the leak. The most common areas for leaks to occur are the base of the spout, the handle, and the sprayer. To determine where the leak is coming from, turn off the water supply to the faucet and dry the area around the faucet with a towel.
Once the area is dry, turn the water supply back on and observe where the water is coming from. If the water is coming from the base of the spout, the O-rings may need to be replaced. If the water is coming from the handle, the cartridge may need to be replaced. If the water is coming from the sprayer, the diverter may need to be replaced.
Replacing O-rings
If the leak is coming from the base of the spout, the O-rings may need to be replaced. To replace the O-rings, turn off the water supply to the faucet and remove the spout. The O-rings are located at the base of the spout. Remove the old O-rings and replace them with new ones. Reassemble the faucet and turn the water supply back on.
Replacing the Cartridge
If the leak is coming from the handle, the cartridge may need to be replaced. To replace the cartridge, turn off the water supply to the faucet and remove the handle. The cartridge is located inside the handle. Remove the old cartridge and replace it with a new one. Reassemble the faucet and turn the water supply back on.
Replacing the Diverter
If the leak is coming from the sprayer, the diverter may need to be replaced. To replace the diverter, turn off the water supply to the faucet and remove the sprayer. The diverter is located inside the sprayer. Remove the old diverter and replace it with a new one. Reassemble the faucet and turn the water supply back on.
