Moen shower cartridge
I've read your responses to several folks concerning the Moen single handle shower cartridge and appreciate all the good information. I take it that since I am getting hot water to my sink and no hot water coming out of the shower head that there is something impeding the flow in the cartridge. Is that a fair assumption? How much do new cartridges cost or do you think I could clean out whatever is impeding the flow?
I tried getting the cartridge out but it is stuck. I pulled out the brass clamp holding it in but it won't budge. I guess I need to get the tool you mentioned from the plumbing supply place. Would Home Depot carry that tool?
Sorry about all the questions. I would call a plumber, but I'm on a roll for fixing things in my house and would prefer to do it myself for obvious financial reasons. Thanks in advance for all your help.
