    See this web site. Possibly something wrong with cartridge stem. Call Moen, request new cartridge, cartridge nut and set screw.

    Yep I agree with Harold, Call Moen at 800-289-6636 give them the model number they will send you any parts needed for free, good luck.

    Are you 100 % sure 3/32 is what you have? When you tighten te screw how long does it stay tight?
