Discuss Shower is not activating hot water? in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net

Hello all, first post here. My shower has been playing up lately. It feels like it's lost pressure and goes cold after a couple of minutes. The copper pipe for the hot water from the combi boiler is cold so it's not activating the hot water for some reason. If I run the tap that activates the hot water the shower water goes hot but it goes extremely hot, too hot to have a shower then cold again when the hot water goes off. I took out the mixer cartridge and not sure if anuything is wrong with it though not sure if I fitted the tap back on properly. Any advice would be great as to what could be the cause.

Hi there, All was good until one day the hot water suddenly started running quite a lot cooler. Putting my hand on the output at the boiler it's still hot there so I'm guessing there's a problem with cold water feeding into the hot water somewhere along the line. I have mixer taps on two...
