Exactly what I needed to remove my Grohe faucet handle and fix my leak. Thanks!
Great!
I’ll be doing this. Thanks for the video. What size socket fits on that screw?
Thank you so much for this video. My handle was so corroded, and it was almost impossible to get off. PB Blaster did the trick.
thank you so much for this very helpful vid. my wife and i love our "new " Grohe faucet.
Glad to help.
Thank you! This was extremely helpful. I was able to get the screw out without stripping the socket but it WAS tight. When I couldn't pull off the handle, I used your ball peen hammer suggestion and that did the trick! I also replaced the hand spray head because the membrane buttons wore through. All reassembled and working perfectly.
Glad to help.

I had to use Froggy's ball peen hammer suggestion also. I had help from a neighboring handyman. Without the video we would not have had the courage to proceed. Thanks, Froggy!
Very helpful, especially the part about tapping the handle with a hammer to remove it if it's stuck on with lime, gunk, etc. That worked like a charm and saved me $100 to have a plumber come out.
Glad to help!

Grohe is a great company, they sent me a new head with hose, Handel and the cap in this video, no charge 10 years old, but we did buy the more exp tap, the straight one, maybe that’s why.?
Thanks. Just replaced mine.
Great!
Thanks for the video. Given that the handle screw was stainless steel, it probably was not frozen, and using the recommended 3 mm Allen wrench might have avoided stripping it, obviating drilling it out.
Leaking mineral deposits are like rust so far as how they make a screw hard to extract.
Thanks.
:)
Thanks for your knowledge - perfect video for replacement of my Grohe LADYLUX PLUS handle.
Glad to help.
:)
I couldn't help but notice the electrical outlet ( probably for disposal(?)), and noticed that your outlet isn't a GFI. ...for future sake / resale, this won't pass code.
A 9/32 socket removes the screw. The Allen wrench will strip it.
Hi Froggy I have lady lux faucet which is leaking from underneath. Is it the cartridge from the side or something else underneath leaking ?
The cartridge is top side, but, of course you could have a bad connection under. Dry it as best you can, get a bright light & chase the leak, let me know.
:)
I have a Grohe kitchen faucet with a black plastic handle and I don't see a screw to remove to open the handle. Can you help? Thank you.
Try using a small mirror to look where you do not have a line of vision, feel with fingers.
Instead of using a 3mm hex or drilling it out, you can just use a socket wrench. If you notice at 2:12 there is just enough room with my Sears socket to get inside the recess in the handle.
7mm socket. Just fits inside the handle.
@@markhillmann633 Excellent, whatever works. :)
@@markhillmann633 Couldn't get a socket wrench to work for ours, as the handle screw head was sunk into some sort of tighter plastic surround? Ended up getting it loose with an allen wrench and elbow grease. Still worth a shot for others to try a socket wrench though.
Sir this video is not showing up in your list, you should just add a link, big thanks.
Should be in home repair list

@@1947froggy sir why be ignorant, I bet I know computers better than you, if someone goes into your videos it’s NOT THERE, why are a lot of people not finding it, not just me. Guess we’re a bunch of dummies.
I purchased a Grohe kitchen faucet back in 2004 that came with a limited lifetime warranty. Any time I called them, they would send me parts under that warranty. Now they are saying that after 10 years it is "normal wear and tear" and I have to pay for replacement parts. Breach of contract!!
They are a sleazy company getting by on fancy advertising.
:)
Supposedly, the company was bought by Indonesian investors and they are wrecking the company. Two plumbing stores that I contacted no longer carry the Grohe line of faucets because of what is going on with the company.
Thanks for that info.
:)
I had the same problem with them. They told me that anything over 10 years was normal wear and tear. I kept after them because the warranty was limited lifetime not 10 years. After several threatening calls they sent me replacement parts that fixed my problem ! Just keep calling and send a complaint on their website
Report that to your states BBB better business bureau and tell them you are doing it
The handle by itself is almost $100 🤣
Yep, pricy little bugger. :)
@@1947froggy I’m thinking of stripping all the fake black covering off underneath it is golden! I will have a golden faucet handle
@@futureshock7425 Haha, love it!
I had a plumber come to do just this. He stripped the piece under the handle. Should I call another plumber or a handy man. For the price of this FAUCET THIS IS RIDICULOUS. mY PARENTS HOUSE HAD THE SAME FAUCET FOR OVER 100 YEARS. I want to just replace it with a delta or a moen but money money money
Honestly, I'd replace it. Very bad product & worse company customer "service". Buy one at Costco & have a handyman install, use yelp or good neighbor recommendation for the man. Sorry you had to deal with this. Froggy
