I have an old house and I need to know how to fix my shower, the water runs out of the spout with no trouble at all but when I pull the lever that between the water handles to start the shower its stuck and the shower won't turn on any help would be great

Hi tinastevens and Welcome to The Plumbing Page. At AskMeHelpDesk.com. You're responding to a 7 year old dead thread so I gave you one of your own. Look in then upper left hand corner of the first post form the date in the first post before you post, Thanks,
You have a three handle tub/shower valve. Correct? (see image.) This is a diverter problem in the valve. Open up the center valve and check the washers. Replace any broken or faulty ones. Now turn the water back on for a few seconds to flush out the diverter opening. Reassemble and test. Shower working now? Good luck, Tom
