Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Moen Brantford faucet, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Low Water Flow: Check for kinks in the supply lines or debris in the aerator. Clean the aerator if necessary.
• Leaking: Ensure all connections are tight. If leaking persists, the cartridge may need to be replaced. Refer to your warranty information for assistance.
• Sprayer Not Retracting: Verify that the weight on the hose under the sink is properly positioned and not obstructed. The Reflex system is designed for smooth retraction.
• Temperature Issues: Confirm that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected and that the shut-off valves are fully open.

For more complex issues, it is recommended to contact Moen customer support or a qualified plumber.
