    No hot water with moen posi-temp
    I can't get any hot water in the tub/shower with my moen posi-temp faucet. I have disassembled the everything but the cartridge and cannot get hot water. I can rotate the stem 360 degrees and the water stays cold as it turn on and off. I have confirmed the hot water supply. Do I need a new cartridge?

    Remove the cartridge and pop the white end-cap off. Pull out the insert and toss it. Reinstall the cartridge. You should get hot water now. Just don't be stupid and scald yourself.
