If your 3 spray handheld shower head is leaking from the faceplate, follow these simple steps to fix the issue.
Common Issue:
A leak can occur if the center screw inside the faceplate is loose, affecting the seal and causing water to escape.
Solution:
1. Gather Your Tools:
- You’ll need a Phillips head screwdriver and a fflathead screwdriver for this fix.
2. Remove the Faceplate:
- Locate the tabs around the faceplate. Use the flathead screwdriver to gently pry the tabs open without damaging them. There are four tabs in total.
3. Tighten the Center Screw:
- Once the faceplate is off, find the Phillips head screw in the center. Ensure this screw is tightly secured to form a proper seal.
4. Reattach the Faceplate:
- Align the faceplate back onto the shower head, ensuring it’s flush against the surface. Press down gently to snap the tabs back into place.
5. Reconnect the Hose:
- Attach the hose back to the shower head.
6. Test for Leaks:
- Turn on the water and check for any leaks. The shower head should now be snug and leak-free.
By tightening the center screw and ensuring the faceplate is properly secured, your handheld shower head will work perfectly without leaks!
