Mend Dorf Flickmixer Tap Started Washer

How can I fix my Dorf Flickmixer tap?

How can I fix my Dorf Flickmixer? It has started to drip. Is it as simple as replacing a washer in a normal tap?

I too was told FlickMixer seals were no longer available, but recently found these: https://tapwarecentre.com/products/dorf-flickmixer-1-2-seals-and-springs
Looks like the seals and springs in the unavailable Dorf SP5850 kit, and fits our FlickMixer just fine.

Do you know where to get new washers. Dorf says these are not available any more!

Make sure you put the plug in the sink before you start, as small parts can be dropped and finish up in the u bend.
believe me I know

Thank you, you just saved whats left of my hair. I didn't realise that there was something under the logo and I couldn't figure out how to get the handle off. now I have got it. Many thanks.

Will do my best to answer this question as I too searched the net for an answer and found no responses. In the end I just had to figure it out for myself.

Anyhow, the tap handle had to be removed first by loosening the hex screw concealed behind the dork red & blue logo. I just used a knife to remove the plastic cap and then an allen key to remove the handle.

I could then remove the cover, which revealed the large bolt that secures the assembly in place. After the bolt was removed I used a pliers to remove the tap lever asssembly. It can be just pulled straight out, no unscrewing required.

This reveals the hot/cold washers, each of the 2 washers sits on a spring in the cavity.
