Moen single shower handle
Had a problem with my old single handle for my Moen upright shower not
completely turning off and the shower drips just a but. I replaced it with a new Moen kit and it was fine for a while but now it's doing the same thing the old one was. If I keep pushing on it it eventually will close enought to stop the water. Can I use some kind of lubricant (silicone spray) to fix this or what does any of the pro's in here recommend. This thing has been driving me nuts lately. Thanks. |

It says to replace the cartridge which should be a cheap part. Thanks for the tip. |
