you need to get a replacement cartridge moen Faucets have a tendancy to go bad you can lok up the part number at moen .com most faucets have a warranty if not the will ship a new one in about 3-5 days
It may just be that you need a new cartridge. If you can replace cartridge without to much problem I would do that. Depending on your water quality the cartridge may be very hard to remove on a faucet that old. Also if the handle actuating hole is worn very much you may have to replace it also. By the time you buy parts you may have half or more of the price of new faucet, I would recommend that you replace faucet. Hope this helps. Thanks
I did the same thing recently, that is replaced the cartridge on my moen kitchen faucet to stop and leak, and I also have the same problem. I called moen back and they sent me another cartridge that was supposed to fit tighter, I suppose. I just put the new one in and it still wont stay up. I'm going to call moen one more time and then I guess I'll have to buy another faucet, but NOT moen!!! Good luck with yours.
Moen is a cartridge style unit. They make two different cartridges that you can buy at Home Depot. Turn the water off under the sink and then remove the handle. You will see the the cartridge. It has a U shaped retaining clip that pulls out. Once you remove it, then take a pair of pliers and pull the cartridge out. Take it up to HD and match the one you have. The new one will slide right back in and you will reverse the process.
Moen single handle - push pull has a screw beneath the handle cover plate. The Moen single lever handle has an allen wrench screw located under the curve of the handle. Once either one of these screws are removed, the handle should come off easily. Once the handle is off, the water must be turned off and then you can remove the cartridge. Some cartridges are difficult to remove and may require a special tool. Most new cartridge packages have information on them to explain how to remove the cartridge.
