We’ve had some trouble with our Moen Faucet before. I don’t remember exactly what it was, but they sent out replacement parts, and everything was pretty good again. I don’t think it helped the faucets in our house that our water softener was kaput for a few (months? years?). Anyway, the faucet has been leaking for a while (days? months?) and Lauren has been sighing a lot when she looks at it.
The retainer pivot nut (part #14699) was broke. I didn’t happen to have one handy, so I bonded the old one together with my heat vision and put everything back together.
As you can see, it passes what I think any reasonable person would agree is the true test of a faucet. But the retainer pivot nut is still busted, and the faucet feels wrong. Moen is sending out another one.
