I have an Ikea kitchen faucet similar to this Vimmern model. It is leaking somewhere internally and has a slow drip from the nozzle. I swapped out the head with a similar faucet in the laundry sink to test it, the nozzle is fine, the faucet in question drips with or without it. Before I take it out, can anyone tell me if this can be easily fixed or should I ditch it and get a decent brand? Thanks for any advice.

I think you have to go to Sweden, or if that is too far, a nice local Ikea store. Worst customer service and orientation when it comes to spare parts.

My thoughts too, sometimes an "easy" repair is more work than it's worth. I inherited the damn thing with the house, Ikea is hardly a go-to brand for anything beyond simple furniture.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
