6 years ago I replaced the Moen 1200 shower cartridge with no issues. New leaks led to another replacement. Flow should be full force warm when pulled straight out, hot to the left and cold to the right. Instead I get almost nothing straight out and half pressure warm water on both hot and cold side. I reinstalled turning valve 180 degrees... no change. I reinstalled old valve and I again no change?? Valves are identical. Any thoughts?
Not sure about your particular valve, but most newer shower valves have an anti-scald limiter that stops the handle from turning too far to the hot water side. Check for a ring or a pin under the handle that can be set in different positions. It will need to be moved clockwise to allow the handle to rotate farther to hot.
Hope that helps. If you have trouble finding it, try looking up a diagram for the valve model.

hi... yes that's a very common issue with moen "cartridges" -- it's very simple to fix..... grasp the handle and give it a gentle tug upwards when the water is on... if it retracts again, pull the handle out again and tug again but this time a bit harder. Not sure what causes this on new cartridges but it will fix your issue.

It is stuck, they come out very hard and a puller is made to make removal easier.

SOURCE: moen shower valve turns on full to cold water but
yes and no. Find hot water heater and insure cold water supply valve is open all the way. check to see if there is a hot water supply value and that its open all the way. If you replace shower value over iron pipe on the hot side it is corroded up replace pipe and value. If copper, find hot side, find value and open it up.
