    Stuck shower/tub handle
    I have a tub that is used a lot for my infant but the shower is not used often. Recently I tried to run the shower and found the knob (tub/shower knob) is stuck in the tub position. I've tried to force it but it seems as though it might break the faucet if pulled any harder. Any suggestions?

    Can you tell us about the brand and the model number?

    Thanks.

    Yes, the handle will "freeze" in if not used periodically. Pull on it harder, you probably won't break it...

    Would this be a spout diverter ob one built into the valve? Tom
