    Need Hot Water in my Shower UGH!
    Ok, I should have taken care of this 3 years ago, but the older I get the more I can't stand it.

    We have a 2 story house its 7 years old and this is our 3rd Winter.

    We get hot water everywhere except in the 2 showers upstairs. The sinks get it up stairs just not the showers. I used to be able to suck it up jump in and jump out, but this year as its starting to get cooler- I am freaking out.

    Both our showers have one handle turn to the right for cold and further for HOT- I have that sucker turned as far as I can and no Hot water to come.

    I can't imagine what is going on because like I said our sinks up stairs , downstairs, dishwasher , washer etc. all get HOT water.

    Please HELP, any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED IN ADVANCE!!

    A warm bath sounds so good, but haven't had one in over 3 years

    It sounds like you have some debris in your faucet, do this shut the water to shower valve remove the Cartridge, turn on the water for a few seconds to flush the faucet, install the cartridge and see if you have water now.
    If that will not fix your problem then you need to change the cartridge, your Cartridge # is RP19804 see the Image below, and also all Delta products has life time warranty call their customers service at 1-800-345-3358 they will send the cartridges for free, Good Luck.
