Why is my cold water not working in my shower?

If there’s no cold water in your shower, you’ve come to the right place. Lack of cold water is usually caused by a defective pressure-balancing valve in a cartridge. This part is located inside the shower faucet. With a few tools and some patience, you may be able to replace the valve cartridge on your own.

Why is my shower so cold?
