Quick Fix For Shower Not Getting Hot!

What happens here

Before proceeding, place a towel or cloth over the shower drain. This is a crucial step to prevent small parts, particularly the set screw, from falling into the drain and becoming lost. Gather a 7/64 inch Allen wrench and a Phillips head screwdriver (preferably a #2 size). These are the only tools required for this adjustment on a Moen shower valve.

Goal: Prevent losing small parts and gather required tools.

  • Phillips head screwdriver — Removing and securing the temperature limit stop screw
  • Towel/Cloth — Covering the shower drain to prevent losing small parts
