    Hot water in shower for about 2 minutes then gets cold
    My shower starts hot for about 2 - 3 minutes then starts turing cold. Hot water in bathroom sink is still hot when I check it out after shower goes cold. I have three handles on the shower. They are old maybe 25 -35 years old. Just started a few weeks ago.

    Mention this to the workers at Lowe's, or home Depo. They have retired plumbers on staff. I am sure that they could help

    The washer on the hot side is loose and swelling when it gets hot. Replace the washer, possibly new stems for both. What brand is it?
