Review on πŸ”§ Moen 96988 Cartridge Repair Kit: Enhancing Performance and Longevity by Eddie Orrell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best of all, Faucet Parts

can be difficult. I finally got my old cartridge fixed today after ordering this kit a few weeks ago. Removing the large o-rings was easy with some wax removal tools and toothpicks (I think I could do with picks). The rings are not tight at first, probably due to stretching during installation. The smallest O-ring was difficult to replace. It can be slippery, so a piece of thin cloth will help. When inserting the inner part into the outer plastic shell, the o-rings will stick out of the holes, you need to put them back into the grooves while pushing down on the outer shell. It can be frustrating at times, but take your time and things will work out in the end. I've had to replace a cartridge twice in the last year (different faucets) and am tired of paying for new cartridges. I now have a spare in case one of these parts breaks next time.
