The shower head is leaking out of the faceplate.Updated 4 months ago


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!
