20 Most Recent Blanco 157-081-CR Modera Kitchen Faucet Chrome Questions & Answers

Hi,

Here is a webpage with a diagram of your faucet assembly: >>>>> http://www.build.com/mediabase/specifications/157081.pdf<<<<<
Copy and paste this in your browser and the page will open right up for you.

Note there are 2 check valves, one, #3d, where your incoming water line attaches and another, #9, up behind the head.

Don't be afraid to disassemble your faucet. Just remember to turn the water off and lay your parts out as you took them off and you should be able to reassemble with no problem.
As a note, a little veg. oil on O-rings will help reseal after you have disassembled.


Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate a 4 thumbs up. Thanks,

The handle set or retention screw has loosen up and needs tightened. Remove the handle and rotate the stem to the off possession and reinstall the handle in the correct alignment.

The hose probably has a small split in it, or is is one of the O-ring seals. https://www.google.com/search?q=Blanco+culina+mini+tap+replace+hose https://blancotapspares.co.uk/blanco-culina-s-mini-chrome.html But it comes in two types and they are slightly different. All the spares are here https://blancotapspares.co.uk/tap-spares.html ..

My Blanco kitchen faucet has a set screw at the back just below where the spot pivots.

Contact the manufacturer. It should be under warranty. If not buy a good faucet.

Clogged / kinked/ hose/ spray nozzle?

Hi. U can try removing g screen aerator and in there u will find a water saver plastic restrictor. Simply drill it a little larger. One size larger is usually enough.irs very easy to accomplish
Good luck

If it's the handle that's loose you need to pry out the little blue/red temp indicator cap to get access to the set screw to tighten.

Contact the manufacturer (www.blancoamerica.com). They should have the aerator set available. Part No. 1-676.

I watched a video on YOUTUBE that Blanco posted on how to replace a cartridge in their faucets. It goes step by step and outlines everything you need to make the change.

Check "YOUTUBE" for Blanco cartridge replacement. They have a great step by step video.

Did you put the rubber gasket and cardboard sleeve on the bottom of the sink(next to the nut and did you use plumbers putty on the top part of the sink under the top section of the basket. Hint if you put some soap on the gasket under the sink between it and the nut it will be easier to tighten also you must secure the top part of the basket as you turn the nut if not the plumbers putty will not seal. If you do not have the strainer basket holding tool wrench you can substitute with a pare of needle nose pliers. Large channel locks or pliers can work to turn the large nut on bottom. If you can recruit a helper to hold the top part of the strainer basket with the needle nose pliers it make the job of tightening the large nut easier. When a large amount of the plumbers putty has squeezed out and the strainer is flush with the sink you should have a tight seal.

This is an easy job. The only thing to do under the sink is to turn the water off. The hard part is finding the replacement cartridge (Blanco #2408). Once you do that, simply remove the handle (undo the set screw in the front, below the temperature indicator,) and remove the lock nut that holds the old cartridge in place. Lift the old cartridge straight up and out, put the new one in its place, and replace the nut and handle. The whole job will take you ten minutes, from start to finish. (Remember to turn the water back on.) I've attached a parts breakdown: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CFUQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wdcappliances.com%2Fpdfs%2F440652.pdf&ei=cSCTU8fVLcO-oQSe74CIBQ&usg=AFQjCNHkRKgAx1cbIaGdtfDPk4jSEf7Fuw&sig2=ZORVc7a3zktBNAX9s61QhQ

This is a common problem, with new faucets, if one did not tighten or re-tighten the hose connection.

minarl deposit bildup in the handol best to just replace the sprayer any hardwer store hose is still good only sprayer head needs replaced comen threds

Hello doy.. get a can of WD-40 penetrating lubricant and spray it on the seam connecting the lever and the body. It will penetrate within an hour or so. Repeat if necessary.

Also use a plastic head or a rubber head hammer to tap it up.

Thanks for choosing Fixya!

Check under the sink at the valves that the hot and cold water lines are connected to. See if the hot water one is turned on all the way.

Be very careful. I had a plumber help be and we ended up breaking the value with the bit stcu inside the handle. I managed to source a new handle, GBP12 plus VAT, but can't get hold of the valve!
