I agree with Kelvin above regarding the frozen pipes. If the pipes aren't the problem and you have a thermostatic shower, then the problem could be a seized up thermostatic cartridge. Calcium build up inside the cartridge will stop the moving parts inside. It may be that the cartridge has seized up in a hot position, which won't let through any cold water, only hot.

Try taking the cartridge out and soaking in a calcium remover or vinegar. If that doesn't fix the problem a new cartridge is needed. (assuming the problem isn't the frozen pipes). Shower Thermostatic Cartridge Spares

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

I have a powerstar tankless water heater that runs my kitchen and bath room. The sinks get plenty hot but when you turn on the shower it stays ice cold and the power light just keeps going on and off

Shower heads have flow limiters installed in them. This means the water heater cannot sense the water flowing and therefore it wont come on. Take the shower head off and look in the end for a piece of plastic that is in the swivel. Remove it. Then put the shower head back on.

Have changed all washers and reseated taps in shower but shower head still leaks

hi mark.
this is all i could find on the internet,if this is no good to you go to the link at the bottom and see if it helps you out.
First, feel the water leaking from the tub spout or shower head. If it's warm, you know that the leak is coming from the hot-water valve. If the water has been dripping for a while and it is cold, the leak is probably coming from the cold-water valve. 1Start by removing the faucet handle.22 Nov 2016

Could be the pressure on the hot water flow is insufficient, you really need a 5/6 feet head of water from the shower head to the bottom of the storage tank for sufficient pressure.

Push Pull Shower Valve also off in middle position

If you turn it to left or right (hot or cold) and get water out of the shower head,we'll elimate cloged shower head.If it just doesnt work in the middle ,probily a washer is stuck in your diverter,or to better understand>a part inside your shower knob assembly is clogging the water that goes up to your shower head. If you get water out of the shower head in the just cold possition or just hot position,then you will have to dissasemble the unit to repair. If you get no water in the cold or hot position could just be a clogged shower head.If you dont know how to disasemble a Shower diverter ,I wouldn't recommend taking it apart. Hope this helped!

You have a blockage of the hot water coming to your shower head, or a blockage in the supply line coming to the shower head.
Be careful of the hot water in this procedure below.
Remove the head and try to clear the blockage from the head, as you have the shower head removed try to turn on the hot water to make sure you are getting a full stream of hot water to the shower head, if you do have a full stream coming to the shower head then the blockage is in the supply line coming to the shower head.

No hot water comes out of shower just cold comes out even when turned to hot, sink 2 feet away has hot water

The problem more tha likely lies within the shower valve body. Possibly the shower head has an accumulation of deposits clogging up the holes but that would not affect the hot water supply only. You might try removing the shower head and turning on the hot water. If you get hot, immerse the head in Limeaway for a hour or two and replace it, or install a new head. If you still do not get hot water, the shower valve needs attention. The cartridge inside the valve body will likely need replacing or at the least cleaning (Limeaway), replacing rubber seals and use plenty of silicone grease before re-assembly.

Price Pfister Shower--No water to shower

Does the tub spout water flow stop when the shower knob is pulled?

Was the systems pipping flushed before the shower head was installed?

It may be clogged, remove the shower head and then attempt to operate. If it is clogged you will see debris trapped in the screen at its connection point. The shower head can be disassembled - cleaned - reassembled

Is the shower head an adjustable type, that may be in the off position?

Good luck
