I received advice (outside this site) to remove the hot water stem and inspect for debris or functional problems.
Thanks to your help in another thread, I was able to get the stem removed last night.
- 3 handle setup - says "Central" on the hardware
- Hot water works fine everywhere else in the house
- No leaks along hot water supply line to tub
- One washer was deteriorating, but overall it seems functional. I looked as far into valve as I could and didn't see any debris present.
Removed the bad washer and ran a quick test (without new washer) to see if maybe that had been the cause - didn't change anything.
Is there something else I could check, or a process to troubleshoot the valve before I have to take apart the wall and replace the whole thing?
Thanks!
