IAMMAC Report post Posted May 6, 2019 Looking for a plumber in the West Valley, I have a tub upstairs where the hot water just quit working. Cold water still flows but the hot water does not. I am assuming there is something clogging the line but I could be wrong. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easy DIY repair- just google the faucet manufacturer/model and "cartridge" and you'll likely find parts and videos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still would like a plumber just in case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
360 0r Better Report post Posted May 6, 2019 Does it have hot water for a few minutes the runs cold? Do you have the same problem with any other fixtures doing the same thing? If so it is probably the drop tube in the hot water tank. After a few years they get holes in them and put cold water in to the top of the tank instead of the bottom, hot water is drawn from the top of the tank.

IAMMAC Report post Posted May 7, 2019 Took it apart and took pictures of it to Lowes and got the correct cartridge. It wasn't the easiest to get out but I replaced it and now the hot water works. I went ahead and replaced the other 4 in the house so I should be GTG for another 15 years! Thanks everyone for your help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
