I recently started having a problem with my shower in the main bath upstairs. Whenever I turn the water on, no problems. When I turned the diverter to shower, the water starting coming out fine and then the pipes would make a wierd sound and then the water would pretty much shut off (a small trickle out of the shower. Happenes when shower head off too!!!). When I turn the diverter back to tub, the water comes out of the faucet fine. I can get the water to come out of the shower ONLY if I slowly and barely turn the diverter on so that there is water coming out of both the shower and the faucet. If I turn the diverter far enough to almost cut the faucet water off, I hear the noise and the water flow stops. Note: This also happens with the shower head off!!!
This is a Gerber shower valve with the hot cold and diverter all in a row.
I opened the Diverter (11B-4D Gerber Stem). Following URL shows the drawing.

I replaced all three stems last year. It worked fine till last month. I opened the diverter. Nothing suspicious except one rubber washer (not one at the end of the stem) dose not stay in it's position when stem is in open condition.
Pl. let me know how can I fix it.
Regards
