Changed shower handle cant get hot water now
I changed the shower handle in the bath tub. Ever since I change the handle, I cannot get the hot water back to the position or even to get hot enough water back. Is there a position in which the handle has to go back. Can someone help. Thank you. Linda

Did you just change the handle itself or did you replace a cartridge or mixing valve too? Most handles are now made so they can't be put in wrong but older ones can be slightly rotated and still installed. If this turns out to be your situations just remove the valve and rotate it a few degrees and reinstall. If the cartridge was installed and its only the hot that is not working it may be crud that broke loose and is now catch in the valve. Check your arearots while you are at it.

It is an older handle, but when you take the screw off, you just have the stem. Someone said it might just have some build up and might be clogged. So I guess I just want to say. I just changed the handle and put a new screw in. Does the stem have anything to do with it? It does come out luke warm but that is about it. Thanks for your response and hope you could answer this one. LInda

I had the same problem with mine and what my trouble was is that I bought a new handle that fit but because it wasn't the same model handle as the model of valve it didn't work couldn't get real hot water and the knob was in the wrong position. To fix it I went to a web site that just answer questions about plumbing and they said make sure that the handle you get is the right handel to match the valve. Mine was a moen so I got a moen handel for my model and now it warks fine just like new.

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...
I am getting no hot water from my Moen single handle shower valve. I have plenty of pressure from cold water side. I removed the main handle to expose the valve. The hot water pipe has a small valve with a common head valve stem which I turned, hoping to unblock the valve, but this had no...
My hot water handle in the shower doesn't seem to be working correctly. It will turn to far causing the water to come back on when it is in the off position, also the water pressure on the hot side(the side in question) has diminished as this has happened. What are the possibilities?
I have lost significant pressure in my shower equipped with a Moen single handle pull out and rotate - R or L. I have a 2nd shower with identical unit - swapped cartridge - no change. Pulled out the posi-pressure valve on the hot side and found some debries, no change in pressure, may be worst....
My hot water handle leaks when I turned the shower on... it doesn't leak normally when running a bath or when it is turned off... it's a relatively new setup.. not sure what trype it is...
