    Shut the water off to the shower valve and open it up. Check and clean the inlet ports on the cartridge. Now turn the water on for a minute to flush out the valve body and supplies. You should have a strong stream of cold water out of the open valve body when you do this. If not then click on back. Good luck, Tom

No water to both sinks / very low cold water pressure to bath and washer [ 1 Answers ]

My kitchen and bathroom sink have no water, period. Hot water seems to be pretty good to the bath and washer but cold water to those 2 locations are very weak. The outside faucet is very weak at best. I have had this problem for quite some time so it's not the fact that they are frozen. I just...
