My faucet (the hot water side) wasn't truning all the way off... so, I replace the spring, rubber piece and cartridge and it still is not shutting off completely.

Please tell us the brand and the model number of your faucet, or post a picture of it, Thanks.

John

There is no brand

Can you post a picture of the faucet? or tell us if this is a kitchen faucet lavatory sink faucet or Shower/Bath tub faucet, Thanks.

John

It's a tub faucet... two handle..

Ahh. We them stems and washers for single things.

You probably have to renew the seat or replace it if possible.

HowStuffWorks "How To Repair a Faucet Valve Seat"

I replaced the stem and the cartridge... what is a seat? (the little black rubber thing that goes over the little spring... I replaced that)

Also, there is no washer

Please take a picture and post it will help a lot, Thanks.

Hello Helpdoit,

You may have dirt inside the hot side of the faucet, lets Shut off the water to the tub, remove the cartridge, turn on the water for a few seconds to flush out the dirt, install the cartrdge and try it see if your problem is fixed, good luck.
