Delta Soap Dispenser Repair/Clean/Lube

Shows how to take apart a Delta Soap Dispenser. Shows how to lubricate the plunger so it doesn't stick and how to re-assemble the dispenser.
This video is one of my first how to videos. Hope you find it helpful.

[@MrTony002]

I must thank you for this tutorial. You made it extremely simple to follow along and perform the tasks needed. You saved me 20 to 25 bucks for 3 minutes worth of time. Thanks again and God bless! 👍🏼

[@BMartin-we9bv]

This sure works tons better than hitting the pump and cursing it. I fixed the pump exactly how you described and could not be happier. Wish I had tried to fix it many months ago when I simply assumed it needed to be replaced.

[@GaryVolts]

Thanks, this gave me the confidence to open up a non-working dispenser and from there able to replace a corroded ball bearing seal taken from plain plastic pump and put it into the fancy looking pump that came with a pervious faucet.

[@user-fd9wq6zw6k]

I never could have figured out how to take the pump apart. I did everything you suggested to repair my Delta Soap dispenser. However, it still would not work. It kept jamming and extremely difficult to get the shaft to return to the top. I had to use a spoon the pry the shaft up. I took it apart for the 3rd time trying to figure out what was happening. I had discovered the rubber O ring that is in the groove on the shaft was stretched and was super loose on the shaft. I figured out it was probably rolling in the groove and jamming the shaft. Went to the hardware store and got the correct size O ring for 60 cents and it works as new. The size of the new O ring is 7/16 X 9/16. I might suggest that one gets a new O ring and replace the old one when the pump in disassemble. Delta does sell just the replacement pump for about $10.

Awesome!!Thanks

[@prasad_j]

After 17 years Delta soap dispenser gave up. It’s back to life after this tutorial! Thank you sir! BTW, Delta doesn’t stand behind “lifetime warranty “ promise…

[@barbarasvenson2881]

This is an excellent tutorial on how to take apart and clean or grease your soap dispenser. I was getting almost no soap after using mine for 12 years. Robert gives a clear step by step explanation and best of all gives warnings of where you need to be especially careful so you don't lose parts or put things together incorrectly. A+A+A+

[@JeeeezBub]

It's 10 a.m. and I've already watched the best video of the day. Thanks for putting that together!

[@rickalford]

Great Video and detailed explanation on fixing this pump. I’ve been fighting this problem for several years ! Thanks!!

[@Tina-ie7qo]

Amazing video, very very helpful 👍🏼 I’ve been struggling with my dispenser and have put off getting a new one cause of the price, this was a quick no cost fix and my soap pump works brand new

[@matthewjames1448]

Very well done explanation and demonstration. This is the kind of helpful content that should be the standard every diy-repair creator reaches for.

[@donnam6991]

Great detailed but to the point video. To replace my soap dispenser was going to cost $60. Your video has it back in business. THANK YOU!!

[@stephenbianco2146]

Ty for this video, I was about to toss the dispenser or take a hammer to it. Just couldn't see the split line on the plastic until your video pointed it out. Works great now and saved $15 for a replacement. One thing, putting the top section back on is a very tight fit, I couldn't get it in by pushing. I took a 13mm deep well socket that seated and fit perfectly over the top and gave it a tap with a hammer and down it went.

[@trudigrin8625]

Thank you for your excellent video! Your detailed explanation was simple and perfect! My soap dispenser is finally working again.

[@katymccoy5425]

This was amazing! I have a Kohler and every other year it would get stuck. I thought i had to replace every time!! Did this and VOILA! Worked like a charm. Thank you!!

[@evetyler4865]

Thank you for this video! After two years of our pump being "out of order" I finally had enough and found your video. Voila! It works! Also great instructional on how the pump works.

[@kathylabbe6430]

Love how thorough and simply you described the entire operation.....Works great! You are the Bomb!

[@jonathanm9436]

Thank you!! Very instructive and useful. You revealed the tricky bit where the knife was required (I would never have found it). Even though there was suction in the pump section, mine didn't work immediately afterwards until I primed the pipe and pump with water, whereupon it now pumps like a sailor on shore leave. Also, mine had built up (maybe mineral) deposits such that the orifice in the head was reduced from about 4 mm to probably 0.5mm. Sunday morning job done! Thanks again for your clear instruction. 😊

[@Kaysha1029]

Thank you for the excellent video and easy-to-follow instructions on how to repair a Delta soap dispenser. I was tasked with finding a solution for the sticky dispenser in my main kitchen. In less than five minutes, I watched your video, and shortly after, the issue was successfully resolved. I'm now exercising bragging rights thanks to your detailed video.

[@karaleebliss3867]

Thank you so much! So very helpful and straightforward. Fixed my delta soap dispenser, I’m so happy! 🎉

[@kenweber4673]

Thank you so much for uploading this informative video!! I have been attempting to clean and lube this valve without taking it apart for several years with only temporary success. Taking it apart and directly lubing the o ring worked great . Thank you again.

[@DavidPogue]

WORKED!!!! The mechanism of my non-Delta dispenser is IDENTICAL to what you showed, and so was the silicone grease I bought from Amazon. The fix worked PERFECTLY... total outlay was $4! Thank you, Robert!

[@brstw86]

Life saver! Very detailed explanation and useful knowledge. Thank you!

[@highlight1Reel]

Awesome job. Video clearly and quickly articulates how you break this valve down. Thank You

[@jeanne1668]

Wow - it worked and "I" could fix it. Thanks for the detailed instructions. I have a Moen soap dispenser and the parts are the same as your Delta.

[@user-rt9yh5hf7i]

This is a great video! Very informative and the step by step instructions were spot on!!! I am so glad all it needed was a little bit of lubrication.

[@gilbert-c.remillard8926]

Thank you very much! I was going to buy a new pump, until I saw your video. Very well explained. My pump is fixed!

[@user-yq1lb9wz4n]

Atta boy Robert. Finally. a perfect tutorial for anyone to follow, and fix the little things. Cheers pal.

[@ganeshkumarjothi]

Excellent video. I fixed mine and save $60 ( was thinking about replacing the entire assembly). Thank you so much

[@janny2286]

Excellent instructions on disassembling a delta soap dispenser! Thank you!

[@stevenniedziela2698]

Worked exactly as you said it would after I followed your instructions. Thank you!

[@CU-gf7yi]

Thanks for posting this. Great video. You saved me money by fixing it myself.

[@anthonysantiago1190]

This video helped me fix my stuck discontinued Moen 186904SRS Spot Resist Stainless 3-5/32" Soap Dispenser pump (exact same parts). Thanks for the video tutorial...

[@lupelizcano9856]

Great instructional video. Our dispenser is a MOEN and the insides are exactly the same! Dispenser working now! Thanks! Hope you post other helpful videos!

[@johnzur]

Thanks! This was VERY helpful and prevented me from having to buy a new dispenser!

[@user-jw1vm6gu2z]

Thank you. I couldn’t figure out how to get it apart. I never saw the seam until you pointed it out. Easy fix after that.

[@GreatDrums.]

Awesome video! I used Vaseline and it worked immaculately! Better than new!

[@rgalang6052]

Thanks Robert for this great fix. Took less than 5 minutes to get my Kohler working like new. Always thought it was defect and it always stopped working when I used non dish wash soap. This saved me from buying a third replacement. Manufacturer should add instructions on how to fix this common problem.

[@swissmister123]

Thanks! Great tutorial-easy to follow and helpful.

[@russellcleveland8335]

Awesome video. I took it apart, lubed it and slowly put it back together. Just got to take your time. Thanks a million....

[@fernandobarrera6359]

Robert, your Top Notch, thank you!!!

[@user-uz7ud7pb6e]

Great Video! Thanks for taking the time to do this. I probably would have damaged the pump and had to order a new one if it wasn't for this video. Didn't have any grease that's mentioned, but lithium grease worked just as well. Maybe it won't last as long as the plumber grease, but it's pumping smooth! Note, if you use lithium grease make it temporary as it can corrode plastic and rubber parts.

[@KatharineAndre]

Thanks Robert. Your video was very helpful and pump works great again.

[@rokstock]

Thank you! Excellent step by step instructions.

[@oczad]

Thanks Robert ! Mine is a different brand but it's basically the same design and i was able to fix it with your help. Good job, and thanks 4 the help.

[@nancyk.8465]

This was great! I appreciate your step by step tutorial it was done perfectly!

[@hjsdshabdhgadhfgadhf]

Thanks for sharing, you saved me a trip to Home Depot and spending money on a new dispenser!

[@Caprica-Approaches]

Awesome - we were struggling with our Riobel, we'll give this a shot - thank you!!!

[@stevesurprenant1005]

Thank you Robert!!! Great explanation and video. I have a Moen with same problem. Awesome help!

[@pastoracahow5543]

Thank you!!! mine is a Pfister but I'm sure they all work the same. Going to take it apart right now. Good video :)

[@marksenter5581]

Worked perfectly. Thank you!

[@vincecaggiano3297]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. It is now working better than it did when it was new. I suspect it needed lube from day-one.

[@hophoppy4842]

THANKS! Worked perfectly.

[@leanabrown2373]

Thank you! I repaired my soap dispenser! 5-6 years old.

[@TheZapados]

Great video sir! Upvoted and subscribed. Keep up the good work!

[@wenhengchen4904]

Thank you! Upgrade my kitchen sink soap dispenser with sontiy soap dispenser extension tube. The built-in check valve is much convenient.

[@Oddjob876]

Thanks, I really appreciate this video.

[@gordontrump9811]

This is a great help. Thanks for the caution to work in an area to catch flying parts. 😊 Strabo

[@billmanning8806]

Helped me a lot. THANKS.

[@sandychannell9576]

So helpful.,Thank you

[@rajivrana123]

This is a great video as it did help me to do the same.

[@alexpaidas3883]

Perfect fix for a pump that sticks.....Thank you!

[@online_dietitian]

Wow. It worked! Thanks.

[@anthonyfiorante]

The knife didn't work I had to use 2 channel locks and pull them apart. The mineral deposits glued the pieces together. I finally got it apart and it's pumping like day one 👍 thanks again pal!

[@nancyk.8465]

Very helpful!

[@randumdude5824]

Thank you very helpful.

[@queeneywarren9474]

Thank you the instruction was great

[@celtics2008champs1]

Robert, want to thank you for the very good step by step instruction, but this is a real pain in the ass for what it does !!!

[@sarathmsm1]

Excellent!!

[@vincent7364]

Thanks you so much you saved me so much money

[@dirkwestphal1]

excellent- thank you

[@joerauhut9169]

Thanks Robert T ! 🙂👍

[@melissacook5186]

Thank you so much for your excellent video! We have these ridiculously expensive Dornbracht sink fixtures in our kitchen and this is the first problem, which, thanks to you, I now know how to fix. I don’t know if you have an answer to my second problem: someone accidentally recycled the soap bottle that fits the non-standard (not U.S. standard) cylindrical body and thread size of the Dornbracht fixture. Thanks! Melissa

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

Probably too late to help now, but if you are still trying to figure out what to do about your missing bottle, you could make an upgrade. You can get a kit which extends the tube all the way to the bottom of the cabinet under your sink. This enables you to just put a bulk bottle of soap under your sink instead of using the small bottle that comes with the pump.

[@nArSssssZ]

Thank you very much!

[@albinotugboat7788]

when i opened it up it fell apart and i lost little ball that acts lika a valve so i melted ear cleaning stick (idk how do u people call it) and made it out of it. Now my dispenser finally works properly im so happy

[@yanetlarramendi7014]

Brilliant 💪🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😍

[@ahnie771]

Thank you! 👏🏻🌠

[@brianzardavets2588]

Thank you!

[@turkeclipse]

will this fix my dispener that stopped dispensing? There is no problem with it sticking/staying down but it stopped pumping soap out for the most part. Pumping hot water used to fix it but doesnt really anymore.

[@vj5183]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@johnleonard6573]

I worked the utility knife for an hour and couldn't get the pump pieces to separate. Any advice?

[@slackerzsincity8822]

Thanks, I was getting frustrated with my sop dispenser

[@mkiitmr2]

I am having trouble separating the two components of the housing, the part where you used the razor. What am I missing? Do I have to push in the two little tabs?

[@celtics2008champs1]

I also having SIGNIFICANT trouble using separating these parts. The little BITCH won't come apart and really pissing me off. Since he cleans his alot it seems easy.

[@danbrandon8915]

Gracias me ayudaste con crema jajaja😊

[@davidloucky3566]

Thank Robert T. So what's my excuse for not fixing this 4 years ago? The wife's very happy!

[@daze023]

Mine suffers from low flow Any fix for?

[@karenchandler1917]

I have a kohler but I don’t think there is a seam to pop open😢

[@mkiitmr2]

Anyone know how to do this with a phister dispenser?

[@queeneywarren9474]

I got a container I try to take it off I could not my is not built in the sink

[@StevenMalatesta]
