My tub/shower has 3 stems. Hot, cold, & shower diverter.
I had to replace a washer on the diverter, but when I re-installed it, the water comes out of the tub spigot and a little bit out of the...

I've been meaning to get back to you about this.
The bladder device did the trick! No more overflow. THANKS!
I found one at Lowe's for $8 ;)

It's a Price Pfister - house built in early 70's - old plumbing never replaced

q: when you installed the new part, was it completely open, or did it bottom out and lock up the stem so it would...

I have accidentally spilled a large amount of water on my electric stove top. So much that one of the receptacles threw sparks and now does not work. The heating element is fine.I have done some...
