I have a shower mixing valve , single handle, bought at Home Depot or Lowes 7 to 9 years ago. The water temperature has gotten colder and colder over the last month. Water temp in all the other showers and kitchen faucets in the house ( including the sink in this room) is very hot, so I believe either teh mixing valve assembly has gone bad, or gotten clogged. There are no identifying marks that I can find (other than the wod "DOWN" on the exterior of the cassette. I am assuming that to fix this I just need to identify the model and mfr. of teh assembly and replace the cassette... but have no clue as to who made this...Assume it is a Moen, Kohler, or Delta. Pictures attached.
Can anyone identify what this is, or tell me what to look for, ideads ofr troubleshooting? I ghave taken the cassette assembly apart- could not see any visible clogs or calcium buildup, the 2 mesh screens are black, but scraping them doesn;t appear to dislodge anything that woudl clog them. rotating the single hande, operates the mexhanism without friction....
Thanks in advance!
