    Please look at image does your faucet looks like this, if it is you can easily replace the cartridge, and delta parts has a life time warranty on their parts, thanks.

    I agree with afaroo, there aren't washers in a single handle faucet. The cartridge is usually user friendly to change. See part #6, it's a diverter repair kit. Looking back at this blowup I may need to eat my words since there seems to be no cartridge in this Delta.

    What John really meant was "seats and springs",(see image) which can be purchased from Delta as a Repair Kit #RP4993. Good luck, Tom
