The following signs of a loose Moen kitchen faucet base should be taken into consideration: • Wobbling or movement: a faucet that wobbles or moves when tapped often has a loose base. • Water leaks: look for any indications of water leaks at the faucet’s base; this might be a telltale sign of a faulty connection. • Reduced water flow: reduced water pressure from the faucet may be the consequence of a loose base obstructing regular water flow. • Difficulty in operating the handle: a loose base might be the main culprit if you experience problems turning on or off the faucet or if the faucet handle seems unresponsive or flimsy. • Visible gap: examine the area between the sink top and the base of the faucet. An obvious gap or an uneven, slanted faucet may indicate that the base is loose and needs to be fixed.
