Moen Single Handle Shower Faucet-turn on get cold, little hot

I have a Moen Single Handle Shower Faucet, it worked fine when we purchase the new house, two years later if I turn the handle I get alot of cold water coming out, but as the handle goes to the mixed level of hot and cold, I get very little hot water coming out. I have removed the handle and there are two plastic rings with gear like teeth, what do I do to get a better mix of cold and hot water. Help!

You can try to rotate the first plastic ring to the left of center a few teeth, this will let the handle advance alittle more to the hot side.

No hot water on Moen single handle shower faucet. cold ok and shut off is fine

do you have hot water elsewhere? if not, might be that your water heater is not heating.
if you do have hot water elsewhere, did you let the faucet run for a minute or 2.
did you have hot water before? is this a new house? new valve?
need a little more detail.
on posi temp valves, if there were no water coming out of the hot side of the valve, the valve will not operate.

these valves can be adjusted by removing the handle and adjusting the white gear that regulates the hot and cold that come out, try going more to one way if it gets colder then go the other way.

I have a new moen single handle shower faucet that is only giving one temp of water (cold). Only if I have it on very slow will I feel hot water. Any idea how to fix

Did the hot water shut off get turned back on fully after the change? Is the hot water line kinked under the sink? Is the hot water shut off valve working?
