only hot water

[Pete Masterson]

Moen controls are quite reliable, but do fail from time to time. Go
to a Lowes or Home Depot and get a rebuild kit for your shower valve.
It will have some o-rings and possibly some other little pieces.
Probably you'll want to disassemble the valve and take it with you to
the store to check the parts and see if you have the kit for the
right model. (Hopefully, this isn't one of the Moen valves that
requires a special tool to take apart.) In your case, it sounds like
the failure managed to block the cold water port in the valve
control. Many Moen valves have a "lifetime" warranty. You can
probably order a rebuild kit for free from the company. In some
cases, they may refund the cost of a replacement kit.

Hope this helps you.

PS. It's considered "shouting" to post in all caps -- although I
admit, that a all-hot water shower might cause me to shout a bit, too.
