I have a MOEN 2 handle Roman tub faucet. When I stepped out of the tub my leg accidentally pushed one of the handles back the wrong way, past where it should stop. When I tried to turn it on, the water now barely comes out for that side (hot), while it still comes out full force on the other handle. I unscrewed it and got it lined back up properly, but the water is still barely coming out. Did I crimp something down in the valve? Is there any way to fix without taking out the whole thing?
Turn supply valves off, turn on tub valves to release pressure, then remove the handle on faulty valve. Check to see if it has a plastic cartridge. If so, it sounds like the rib was broken on the valve and it is out of alignment with ports in valve body. Take the cartridge out and take to your favorite home supply for a replacement. The cartridges have a key rib that fits into a slot so turning the handle turns the stem and not the whole cartridge. You might also find a black washer and spring under cartridge, it's a good idea to replace washer whenever cartridge is replaced also found at home supply

Something is caught in the stem. Make sure the stem is free of debris. Also check that the valve or cartridge is intact.

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.

Hot water line connected to left side of faucet? Did you replace tap set, or just cartridge? Cartridge may be out 180 degrees.

Thank you, Scott, for pointing us in the right direction! My husband was able to order the correct replacement cartridge and the faucet is now fixed without having to tear out the tile, as I had feared. Thank you so much for your advice!!
