My wife and I just bought a house (built 1996), and to our surprise, on the first night, my wife tried to take a shower only to find that only hot water comes out of the shower/tub faucet. It is a Moen single handle shower valve, pull to turn on, and turn to control temperature. If you pull it out and turn it to the left (hot), water just pours out, and gets super hot. If you turn it to the right (cold), it completely shuts off. I am a handy guy, but have little experience with plumbing. Can this be fixed easily? I've heard about replacing a cartridge, but I'm not sure if that is the cause or not. Anyone heard of problem like this? Any help would be appreciated....
