r/Plumbing on Reddit: Moen sensor bathroom faucet not working
June 20, 2014 -

My friend just moved into an apartment which was previously occupied by an older man in a wheelchair. He had some changes made to the apt, one of which was an automatic motion sensor faucet in the bathroom. She says it worked every other time she was there, but now that she's moved in it doesn't work.

There's a red light that blinks intermittently on the faucet, regardless of any motion. There's a gray Moen branded control box (about 6x3x3 inches) under the sink with funny hex screws on it. There are bathtub-style hot and cold control knobs also under the sink, as well as the traditional smaller on/off controls. Both sets of knobs are "on" as far as I can tell. At least, they're not locked in either position.

My question: Where do I go from here? Not sure what kind of troubleshooting I can do.

Edit: It was the batteries. Hex screws, too. Could've sworn they were torx when I'd seen it.

August 11, 2023 - Peel the stickers away from the sensors, allowing them to detect movement around the faucet and activate water flow as needed. Be careful not to damage the finish as you remove these stickers. Generally, the easiest way to remove them is with your fingernail, but you could also use something else to gently pry up the edge of the sticker (such as a toothpick, butter knife, etc.). Moen’s touchless faucets have a feature that allows you to disable and re-enable the sensors as necessary.

Moen touchless sensor stopped working

My moen touchless sensor was working fine, both sensors on the faucet and the manual sensor were working fine. But now they are all erratic and the handle doesn’t work at all.

I have replaced the batteries with new ones and tried resetting the sensor by keeping the handle open and holding my hand in front of both sensors for 10 seconds but still having the same issue.

Does anyone else have this experience? See the video attached.

I have also tripled checked the connections on the controller and verified everything is snug.

If it helps at all. The numbers on the side of the controller is 169140 and 012017. With the barcode reading NJ632602.
