Faucet Repair | Shower Bathtub Won't Stop Running Water

Faucet Repair Shower Bathtub Won't Stop Running Water.
On this video I'm going to show you how to fix the faucet of your shower or bathtub. Once you notice that the water is still coming out after your closed your faucet than its a sign that something is going on with the cartridge. The cartridge is the device that stops the water or adds how much cold and hot water is coming out the faucet. Over time the cartridge will start wearing out. lucky for was they sale the replacement cartridge. So we can fix it yourself.
I have a list of Cartridge and Tools i used below.

This saved me ! I replayed about 20 times on to go get the pin in as that was the hardest part. I didn't give up and got the job done. Gracias 👌

[@LatinTotal]

Great Job my friend 👍👍

[@adamchoward]

Bro! You just saved the day. This happened to me late last night and I was prepared to call a plumber out today. I figured I would give KZbin a quick look and there you were. Thank you so much!

[@CapricornsGhost]

Just did this myself when the tub/shower faucet wouldn't shut off. Luckily, my cartridge came out fairly easily using just pliers. A quick trip to Menards, $35, and about 10 minutes later, and we're good to go! Thanks for the video!

[@iAmNyC718]

[@Kayzlost]

I just watched this video and everything was explained nicely and actually makes this process look easy... but I know me... I’m not tryna f**k anything up. So let me call a plumber 😂😭

[@karimadem5327]

nice job, thank you

[@INSUASTIDYami]

Excelente! Siempre se aprenden cosas nuevas .

[@jerimiaholson9276]

Replaced mine because it was dripping and now after the replacement it flows wide open and I can’t shut it off unless I shut the main water off???

[@LatinTotal]

If you are not able to fix it.. Then, it is time to ask for help or call a professional. S

[@jimgordon3468]

Well done sir. If you fix this yourself don't forget the lube. Not kidding, it makes the handle turn 100 times easier when you are turning the water on and off. Very important.

[@lisamb4269]

Hi, my shower vavle insert wont come out. If this channel is still active, can you let me know....ty

[@LatinTotal]

The Channel is active

[@lisamb4269]

Hi we used your channel and followed every single step, NEW VAVLE INSTALLED!!! thank you!!! it was $38 at lowes, the idiot that had the house before us didn't put it in properly, even hubby was able to do it. We were able to use the same plate behind the valve, if that makes sense. However, we did NOT have vice grips and had to purchase a pair. You saved us a HUGE plumbing bill!!! thanks so much. We have only had this house for two years, and need to fix a few things. She's 103 years old. Thank you again, so much!!!oh and we picked upa $1 bottle of vaseline, from dollar general to help insert it back in. @@LatinTotal

What's the special tool my cartridge doesn't want to come out

But how do I turn the water off in an apartment

[@LatinTotal]

You gotta call the landlord

[@Marvelous_spider-teen]

@@LatinTotal yeah lol they don’t like to answer, had water going for the past 3 hours

[@robratcliffe1396]

5 years and 810K views later, and you're still saving people lots of time and money. Thank you very much for putting this out there. My shower faucet cartridge was stuck in the open position with water unable to shutoff. I was convinced I was going to have to call a plumber for an afterhours visit, but this 7 min video was the saving grace. You rock!

[@LatinTotal]

Thank you

[@LatinTotal]

[@ambermontgomery1844]

I just want to thank you for creating this fix it video. My shower wouldn't turn off the evening of March 3, 2019. After spending 30 minutes trying to turn the damn water off myself lol I came across your video. In less then ten minutes I was able to turn off my water (shut off valve was in the basement). Next day I got the parts and was able to remove and install everything in within 30 min. I spent $10 on the key for move the handle (it came in a set) and $36 on the cartridge totaling $46. Im a mom of four girls so the little ladies were pretty impressed. Thanks again!!!

[@LatinTotal]

I'm happy that I helped you. You did great repairing it so fast.

[@cole6396]

doing the same thing nowww.. i figured this was how it would go, but im glad to have found a video that confirms my theory :D .. its 1:18 AM 7/12/2019 .. i live with 2 idiot relatives that are always breaking shit...

[@aman21091990]

Main shut up valve also stop the hot water to the tub?

[@alexbaker7243]

"You only need a screwdriver for this repair" proceeds to pull out vice grips. I have to say this video saved me what would have likely been a $600 "emergency" plumber bill. Thank you so much.

[@nicorsar]

I have the same message as everyone else, thank you so much for posting! I did it from 9 to 11pm last night but was able to do it exactly right because of your video! You provide great details and a step-by-step, thanks a million! FYI for those who have trouble getting off 'the screw' on the handle - it required me to purchase an SAE set (mine was 5/32). Allen wrenches may not work, but the SAE does for the MOENs.

[@LatinTotal]

😄👍

[@ahmeddmild]

I frequently do repair jobs. But i never recorded or never thought to help like you did. You gave me a motivation. You're good man i must admit.

[@LatinTotal]

Help others 🙏

[@rhiedwhite]

Still helping people in 2021. About 2 and half hours ago (around 8pm), my wife came into my office and told me the shower wouldn't turn off. She called an emergency plumber, but I got on youtube and found your video. Part was $51 at Home Depot with tax and the plumber was going to cost $59 just to show up. Works great! Thanks again for the tutorial.

[@chrisgraham2904]

Best Practice: Before you start disassembling the shower valve, which includes a small screw, clips..etc. cover the bathtub drain with a plug, or painter's tape or a rag. If one of the tiny parts happens to slip from your fingers during disassembly and assembly, it won't end up down your drain.

[@angelarico4787]

I lost my husband and older brother just hours from each other...my older taught me a lot about roofing, minor electrical, construction, and plumbing. If I ever mentioned I was having issues with anything around the house, he'd ALWAYS say "don't mess with it, I'll be there this weekend" - we lived 2 hours away from each other. Or he would tell me step by step how to fix it. I was almost in tears because he isn't around to teach me anymore...you - taught me something my brother and I had never had the need to tackle. Didn't want to call a plumber, as I try to do things on my own. But this time I was clueless and missing my older brother terribly. Thank you, for taking the time to make this tutorial video. It took me 2 tries as an associate in Hone Depot had given me the wrong replacement part, after physically giving/showing him what I needed. When I went the 2nd time because it wouldn't go completely in...I knew something wasn't right. Found the correct piece on my own, when I went back. So yeah...I appreciate you🙏

[@tcjct]

This video was a great help. Only thing to keep in mind when you turn the mains back on, let the water run a little as it will push a lot of dirt.

[@Blueberry_Muffinrblx]

The bathtub water won’t stop running and my grandma doesn’t know crap and won’t let me touch anything so I guess my house is gonna flood.

[@LatinTotal]

Ooo No

[@maisoncastro]

Live saver bruh. You just saved me cash from the plumber.

[@Duc848]

Awesome video my man. My friend was having this problem and I wasn’t there to repair it, so I sent her your video. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I appreciate it that 😄👍

[@RchapmanPro]

I never tried to repair my shower or bathtub. Thanks for teaching me something new.

[@DrAmberNixon]

Thank you!! This video is AMAZING! I was in the middle of making a bath for my screaming toddler when the faucet wouldn’t turn off. After watching this video I was able to fix this issues in less than an hour and before my husband even got home from work! Thank you!!

[@bryankuderman945]

Good job man. This is very helpful. Posting this is helping many people save money and the stress that these type of issues can cause a family when things don't function. Much appreciated

[@shakenniasantiago1409]

Hello, Your video was very helpful accept, I've come to a problem. The clip on the faucet was very hard to come out and now It wont go back in . Can you help me ?

[@KneeeK0]

I just watched the video and i am gonna fix mine!!! I am about to tell my wife move out of the way while explaining why it doesn’t work 😂😂😂

[@baderalhousainy]

You are a life saver, it’s thanksgiving night and you made my night :)

[@PamelaBarnett]

Fixed both my tubs. Spent $150 on two cartridges, and a remover tool. With my dad and husband helping we also discovered a issue behind the wall and were able to fix that too! Saved us tons of money not having to call a plumber !

[@LatinTotal]

You saved the Day!

[@tanner03able]

I can't thank you enough for making this video. I have the same setup in my shower, and the exact same problem you did. I was able to run to the store the next day, and the issue was fixed in 10 minutes. This saved me a lot of money from having to call a plumber. THANK YOU SIR!

[@LatinTotal]

You Did a great job👍

[@RobMoses]

Thank you for making this video! It was perfect. I fixed my shower today. However when I was done the off position was up and instead of down, I think I installed that black bit upside down lol. Still works tho, so I'ma just leave it haha.

[@netminder831]

Thank you brother! Liked and subscribed, because it’s the least I could do for saving me some cash today!

[@12bradleyd]

Thanks for the video! First night in new home and water wouldn’t turn off. Luckily Home Depot was open

[@danieldouglas2221]

Just what I needed for a shower faucet that would not shut off after hours. FYI, the faucet in the video is a Moen faucet. Very common & what I had. However there are other brands that look a bit different.

[@joshuapeters7719]

thanks for the video, fixed mine in about 20mins after picking up the part.

[@jorgecruz2099]

ok you are not a Plumber, but you are sharing your experience !!!! thank you very much, you did help me to fixed it at my house

[@mattshapiro3312]

It's 1am and the shower would not turn of in my tenants apartment. So glad i found your video!

[@LatinTotal]

It's easy and simple to repair your shower or bathtub faucet. Just be careful doing it.

[@kilay2008]

Thank you! You saved me $300 in plumber fees!

[@josevega6478]

Lucky me we have the same one but mine is no water coming out. Thanks for the video

[@seeweehomes196]

Thank you. This helped alot. I wasn’t able to get the clip back in. The cartridge is not completely flushed with the valve. I pushed, banged and even used the removal tool to hold it while I push it in and banged. That helped but it’s still not flushed. It’s put back together and working now (the water shuts off). Hopefully this will hold until I can renovate that bathroom. Thanks.

[@LatinTotal]

You did a Great Job 👍

[@s2ua7]

I don't know that I've ever commented on a KZbin video or not, but if I have it's been something short like "awesome." Nothing like the heaps of praise I'm going to give you for putting this out there. Thank you so much for this video!!! Early this morning (5:30a local), I took a shower. When I finished, the cartridge seized up and when I tried to turn it off, I felt it give and then it just freely rotated. I was hoping it was just an issue with the handle, but after watching your video I was convinced it wasn't. To be safe, I turned off the water, removed the handle, and then twisted the nob but the water kept flowing (after I turned it back on of course). I then turned the water back off, removed the pieced and trucked it on down to the orange box and picked up a replacement. Got home, through it in there and put it all back together just like you did (I had a piece that wasn't their so your reminder take take pictures really helped!) and sure enough, my problem is solved!! Thank you again for throwing this video out there!! If you hadn't, I may not have had the confidence to replace the piece!

[@gregfromthere]

I just wanted you to know your video saved me tonight. I had a peerless faucet and I needed the removal tool because it was so old. I got to the hardware store 15 minutes before it closed, but it wasn't too hard to fix, thanks to your instructions. Thanks so much!

[@RabLRousR]

Labor Day 2023- Luckily, the closest hardware store had a replacement. $35. I had a devil of a time getting it out and an equally difficult time getting the new one in, even with the lube they provided. I haven't put the trim pieces back on. I'm concerned one of the O-rings may have been damaged when I forced the cartridge back in. I'll wait until tomorrow to see if there are any leaks. So far, so good. Fingers crossed.

[@ash21d]

Thanks for the amazing video! we used this about 6 months ago, and we are needing it again now! Question, Do we have to keep the water turned off for the entire house until we can go to the store to buy the new cartridge? Cause its the middle of the work day... wondering if there is any trick to temporarily just stop that one faucet and turn the house water back on.... (am I asking for too much? lol)

[@LatinTotal]

Unless you have a shut-off for that area of the house. But I would turn it off from the entire house to avoid a high water bill

[@eastcoasttaekwondo3099]

Great video. I actually just did this myself, I have the exact same facet in my bathroom

[@bwhite13]

Hopefully you still check the comments on this video. That black thing you remove right after the handle is not coming off for me and I feel like just pulling harder isn't the right move. Any tips?
