    I'll need some sort of a model number before I can get specific. But generally you shut the water off and open up the valve. Pull the cartridge and check and clean the inlet ports. Before you button up turn the water back on for a moment to flush out the supplies. Good luck, Tom,

    Tom's right but let me add just a slight detail. The part about before you button means to leave the cartridge out, cover the valve body with a towel and have someone else turn the main on and then off. You will get a rush of water and it should clear the line and valve, and maybe give you a quick shower if you aren't holding that towel right.
