Hi, getting information before attempting replace cartridge on 10 y old Hansgrohe ecostat 04355xx0 which start leaking recently.
I already ordered correct cartridge and have an idea how to do the job. But few things that I noticed is what I have questions.
First, when I removed the handle I noticed that it wasn't secure and wobble all over about ready to follow off. It did not have a tightening screw oj the side but only the rubber cover in that small hole for the setting screw. I was just able to pull off the handle off the cartridge . Next when I look inside the handle I noticed some end screw dangling inside , it seems like this screw supposed to be holding to end of the cartridge horizontally. I will post the picture. It seems to me it should not be there dangling like that.
I tried to unscrew 2 little screws inside the handle to look deeper but one of the screw is stripped so I hold on drilling out until I have the answer how that other screw end up there.
Thank you for reading and hopefully I'll get some ideas from you guys.
