No hot water in shower of Bambi '19

[glwinter]

After 9 years we suddenly could get no hot water in our shower. We have hot water in our sinks. When we turn the handle to the hot water side we still get cold water but no hot. Like other shower faucets, are the innards replacible?

Just had this occur with my 2006 19'. There is a cartridge that can be replaced in the Moen faucet. The part is available in a plumbing supply store ( around $80) There are several youtube videos on the assembly process.

I know about the filter in the kitchen faucet, but one in the shower? Where?

The cartridge is part of the shower faucet assembly. Google Moen Airstream faucet repair.

Not a complex repair, but does have a lot of parts and a clip that is hard to get in that holds everything together.

$80! Wow, seems a bit high. When I got my 2006 used the shower faucet would not shut off completely. It dripped and the original owner said he was going to get to it soon. Since I have had lots of Moen faucets in my home I was familiar with them and it ended up being an easy fix.

Follow the advice given and go on line to see how to R&R the cartridge. I got mine at Home Depot a few years ago but paid no where near $80, more like $25. Get a Moen replacement and not a cheaper knock off. It will last longer. Ask me how I know this.

Same thing happened to us. We were not near anywhere where we could get a replacement cartridge for the Moen faucet...but did take the faucet apart... as a last ditch effort we gave the innards a light tunk with a wrench thinking perhaps there was calcification built up...and bam! Apparently we knocked the offending calcification off. We suddenly had hot water again. The learning curve on disassembling and re-assembling the faucet is steep...be sure not to drop that little "key clip" thing that keeps the faucet together. We tied a fish-line through the little hole at the top of the "key clip" in case we dropped it... Not the easiest thing to get at and work on. Eventually we wil need to replace that cartridge but at least now we know what the issue is.
