Recently purchased a home that had been idle for quite awhile. Hot water heater is new.
Have a no hot water in the shower problem and removed the screw stop and cleaned as recommended in one of your earlier blogs but can't get the center cartridge to budge. Feel it is the culprit because where I was getting no flow when turning all the way to hot, I now get a slight dribble out of the shower head. I get normal flow from the moment you initially start to rotate the knob and as it gets to the 3/4 point it starts to slow to a dribble when fully open. Water never warms though there is good hot water in the sink.
What's the trick for getting the cartridge to come out (have removed the washer and retaining ring)?
