    I cant get my hot water to work in the shower
    Please Help! Ive been having trouble with my hot water in my shower. All of the other bathrooms have hot water except this one. I use to have turn the handle all the way to hot first to get my hot water but now I do that and nothing.. its freezing cold. I don't know what it could be. I absolutely do not have hot water in the tub or shower.

    But I assume you do still get cold, right? Most likely a clog in the hot inlet of the cartridge. It is a single handle valve, right, what brand? You need to remove and clean the cartridge and flush the line. Instruction will vary with brand

    I believe the brand is a Kohler. I do get cold yes, it just stopped working altogether today. The last couple of days, turning it all the way to hot worked and then I had to adjust the temp but now no hot at all.

    Try to determine which one you have KOHLER: Bathroom: Bath & Shower Faucets: Why KOHLER: Planning Shut off the supply lines, remove the handle and cartrdige for cleaning. Place a towel over the cartrdige opening and hold firmly while someone else opens and closes the hot supply, this flushes the line of further debris
