Hi

This sounds like there is dirt under the cartridge you would need to turn the water off and take the cartridge out and clean the valve as well. this should stop the water coming through

try a magnet before drilling if it don't work drill a small hole do not push in to screw

not familiar with that exact unit but alot of the caps unscrew or pop out when pried or you may have set screw on body

only when its on? it can only be from 3 places the the plumbing up to shower head or the tub spout or crack in fixture make a hole in the wall behind fixture easier then replaceing tile if you can turn on and see where the water is coming from you need to open anyways thank you for useing fixya please rate me

If it is a single handle there should be an access hole to the under side of the handle that will allow access to a allen style set screw, loosen it and the handle can be removed.

you may need to adjust the diverter cartridge on the valve to fix the switch control arm. Here are the steps to do so: Turn off the water supply to the faucet and open the valve to release any residual pressure. Remove the handle by loosening the set screw with an Allen wrench and pulling it off. Unscrew the bonnet nut and remove the diverter cartridge by pulling it out with pliers. Check the O-rings and seals for any damage or wear and replace them if necessary. Align the diverter cartridge with the valve body and push it in firmly until it snaps into place. Screw the bonnet nut back on and tighten it with a wrench. Reattach the handle and secure it with the set screw. Turn on the water supply and test the faucet for proper operation. I hope this helps you fix your faucet. If you need further assistance, please contact Danze customer service at 1-888-328-2383.

being a new faucet it does that because you still have air in the line. turn the faucet on and let it run for a while, if that doesn't work take it back and get a better quality faucet like a delta, because they make them so cheap that the seal could be loose inside.

Either this is a consequence of having a "low-flow" shower head, or the pipes are too small or have too many bends and elbows to support the flow rate required at 65 PSI for such a large shower head. What is the water pressure at the shower head fitting while the shower is running? It won't be 65 PSI, but it shouldn't be below the recommended inlet pressure for the unit.

you need a new cartridge if its fairly new. if its an older faucet it will have to be replaced, usually the hot water side warps the fixture and it leaks there nothing you can do about it except to replace it.

if you live some where that gets cold one of your pipes could have frozen. if you can get to the crawl space/basement put a heater down there for a few hours and leave the shower cold water on if the water comes out of the shower your pipes have thowed out. here is a video https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CDMQtwIwBGoVChMIn6q266OQyQIVAs9jCh3O6QFj&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DPbnGn9EG1mw&usg=AFQjCNEMOGXppMYQl-Rcij9L-P36CdC8Rw&bvm=bv.107467506,d.cGc good luck

Possible issue with pressure balancing cartidge, When you remove parts, turn off water, remove parts, slowly turn on water and see if brass valves lets water out. If yes pressure balancing cartridge or cartridge itself is defevtive.

Don't try to repair it. Replace it. All hand held showers use 1/2" hose fittings so any brand divertor should fit. Bring the part with you as there are different styles.

make sure that you have installed the right way not upside down or backwoods...pull back out and check the alignment....good luck
