Kitchen faucet leaking

[Steven1971]

Hello. I have a pioneer kitchen faucet (model #2BR110) that is leaking. I was told to replace the entire stem. I was looking online and found a picture of the stem.

Looks like there is no washer on there, just a couple of o-rings. Would it be possible just to replace the o-rings to fix the leak? Thank you.

Replace the O-rings and find out. I fixed a leaky kitchen faucet by changing two O-rings in the cartridge. I had been looking to buy a cartridge, but the store did not have that. The worker suggested the O-rings. Worked completely.

Thank you. I will give it a try.

It depends on where the leak is located. If it is leaking out the spout, replacing those two o-rings will not fix the leak.

If it is leaking from under the handle when you turn the water on, then O-rings should work. If it is leaking out the spout you need to change the cartridge. That said, if you have a lot of minerals in the water it is sometimes possible to soak the cartridge in vinegar and have it work again - but the stars must be aligned and the moon in the proper phase. (That is, once in a while it works.)
