  If the faucet continues to leak after cartridge replacement, ensure the faucet body was thoroughly cleaned of mineral buildup before installation.

Verify the cartridge's alignment pegs are correctly matched with the faucet body holes. If your cartridge has a red collar for temperature adjustment, ensure it is set correctly or consider removing it if it causes extreme hot water issues, as noted by some users for older Glacier Bay models.

  If the handle is stiff or difficult to move, ensure the cartridge is properly lubricated (if applicable, check product specifications for lubricant requirements) and that no mineral buildup is obstructing movement. Also, check that the handle screw is not overtightened.
