My Winnebago Adventurer has a Moen single handle shower control. Recently the shower seems to have broken. When turned to hot, the water flow diminishes. There is plenty of volume at cold, but it is cold. I just took off the handle and there does not appear to be a cartridge, but perhaps the control setting has slipped. Has anyone else dealt with this problem? Hot water works fine at all other faucets.
Thanks, Gary

Look inside the plastic handle Gary and see if part of the sleeve has broken off. This can cause erratic pressure and temperatures. If the handle is fine the problem is in the cartridge. If it is a single handle Moen product, there should be a small retaining clip that holds the shaft (where the handle screws in) in place. Remove the clip, then slowly pull the cartridge from the retaining sleeve. This cartridge is available at most HD & Lowes stores. A little pricey, but if you have time, Call Moen and they will send you one free. Good luck!
