    I have a single handle shower/bath combo. Only hot water is coming out. Why?
    The bath/shower faucet is the type that is just a single handle. 6:00 position being off; 9:00 position being all hot. But only hot water is coming out. It was working properly when we purchased the house (built in 02) and worked up until I don't know when as it's rarely used. Mostly by guests. The cold water does work at both faucets in that bathroom. What could be the problem? No brand name visible or logos, etc.

    Brand name? Temperature control? Can you furnish more details? Back to you, Tom

    Replace cartridge. They are inexpensive and will solve your problem without guessing. If you still want to try to fix it than turn off water, remove cartridge, clean it real well and reinstall. If the cartridge show signs of calcification than you have to dip it in household vinegar and hope that will help. There is 50/50 chance it will.

    Hope that helps

I have a leak in the wall from my shower. The leak is sporadic. I am able to play with the position of the handle (more or less hot water) and I can get it to stop. I was able to narrow it down and determined it only occurs when the hot water is running. I figured it was the cartridge and...

I've read most of the questions on this website about this matter, but I'm still confused. I pulled off the handle and wall plate. But what do I do after that? I see a small (4 inch approx.) hole in the wall with a "unit" that looks like a cartridge that holds the handle. I can turn it to hot...
