Plumber didn't bother to check this out apparently. Charged me $200 for luke warm showers until I ran across this video and fixed myself. With Coronavirus I would have been waiting another 3 months for the plumber to fix! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Yadiel Hernandez I had this problem for several months myself, I can relate to your emotions. God Bless and Happy New Year. Here’s a tost to long hot showers.
@@fishingreelgood8837 Gracias, lo estaba haciendo pero llegue hasta donde vi el anillo rojo y no pude sacarlo 🤤 luego vine y busque en youtube y salio este video y me dije cierro el agua o no para quitar el tornillo ? Gracias por contestarme porque estoy a medias vere como me queda 😊
At my apartment I’ve had the maintenance guys come twice still no hot water. I watched your video hot water now in my shower am very happy thank you for this
That is awesome, the manufacturer which is part of Home Depot does not to my knowledge add thee steps to the installation guide. So happy the Video Helped.
Home Depot's instruction read like Greek and I wanted to throw the instructions since it didn't make any sense. So, naturally RU-vid came to the rescue. I discovered your video and 5 minutes later I have really hot water. Thank you.
I've got a brand new same brand and model shower faucet and after watching this video I removed the handle and the plastic thing that goes over the settings and got to the water settings and remove the red ring and then turn it and reinstall all three parts and this video helped out alot and I would recommend it for anyone who has a glacier Bay faucet and has the cold water problem to watch this
After seeing this, my plumber is fired. He replaced the water heater and all the faucets in the house. I asked him about several things relating to the shower faucet including the fact that the flow is weak. Unfortunately, at the time I did not notice the shower water wasn't getting as warm as that in the kitchen and bathroom sink which nearly 130 degrees (no kids.) When he checked it out, he said he need to turn up the temperature on the water heater. I thought his assessment was strange. I'm a first-time homeowner so I am naive to such I didn't question his profession nor expertise. But I remember while living in an apartment, the shower faucets were replaced with single levers. I didn't give the maintenance man time to punch the clock the water was cold. He did something fancy with the shower faucet and then I had hot water. I'm tempted to fix it myself but I have very little confidence. I'll watch this again. Thank you.
myaification, if you want to save money lower your water heater back to 120 degrees otherwise your water heater will frequently turn on which is one of the most costly appliances in your home along with the Ac / heater, Dryer, stove/ oven and pool pumps. It is very simple to do just follow the video and safeguard all screws and parts, you should be fine.
I can't thank you enough for this. I bought a house a couple of years ago and have taken lukewarm showers the past two winters b/c the faucet wouldn't go up past the middle. I've had a million other things to fix so that was far down on my list to look into/fix. 2020 was enough of a pain in my rear that I couldn't take it anymore so I looked for a video and found yours. Now cold showers won't be something I have to deal with anymore! 😁😁 Happy New Year. God bless!
Thanks for the info! Just had a nice hot shower, my first since setting up this new shower in my house. Was about to call a plumber to get it looked at, this was so much easier.
Purple Crush So glad it was of help to you, I know the feeling. I’ve lived with that cold water for quite some time before one of the service guys in the Home Depot explained it to me for about 20 minutes. I was glad he took the time to do that, now that consultation has helped so many others.
I totally did not see the set pin when replacing the cartridge, so I only had warm water and I was going crazy, but now after watching this video I have Hot water again! Thank you !
Just finished a shower. Silicon top half of everything. Now i have this issue. 😂😂. I usually check the temperature before caulking. I didn't. Now im going to have to cut Silicon loose and do this. Thanks for video
Thanks for posting this. I was curious to why my water would get just warm. I decided to go on RU-vid and found a couple videos and came across yours. So this saved me not having someone come out. I can do this myself.😊
Thank you so much! We've been dealing with room temperature showers since we moved into this new place and I knew there was something that could be done. Followed the simple instructions and had the best shower in weeks.
I figured it was some type of “arrester” in there, but had thrown away the instructions after I installed this. After my first bath, (lukewarm) I found this video. Thank you! Ridiculous how these companies think people are too stupid to adjust their own bath water!😡
Thanks for posting this Salsapete. I found that I didn't have to remove the outer trim ring (with the two screws). That saved a little time and hassle. Plus I had two hands. ;-)
This is so helpful. My issue is the hot and cold water was reversed. How do I do that for this Glacier shower? I'm so eager todo this myself as my landlord is an ass.
Good question try it and let me know, but it my just go in a circle and you may not be able to determine coldest and hottest points easily but I myself would like to make it hotter
Thanks so much for this! 😊😊😊 My contractor said it was a faulty valve and wanted to rip out my wall to fix this. 😒 What's the size of the Allen wrench for the set screw please?
I believe you can leave it the position but if you want to be safe and have an interior shut off valve do that but you should be fine working from the off position. I really don’t recall if I shut mine off or not. At interior master water junction box located in my garage.
Yes the inner red adjust how much hot water you allow to your exterior shower valve. They must have had a lot of complaints in previous years so I believe by default during manufacturing and quality control they set extremely low to STA themselves but give very to no appropriate instructions on how to correct the issue. I am sure many owners have either hired a plumber or removed and returned the product. Or like me grinned and bearded it quickly during a nesasary shower.
Just had my bathroom finished today and notice that the handle only does a 90 degree turn instead of 180 degree even though the plate hows "H" on the top and "C" on the bottom. Is that normal or my plumber did it wrong? Its also not very hot so I have to try this as well but want to know about the 1/4 turn vs the 1/2 turn.
misaza26 Curious was this the problem? So far over 20 said yes since my post. If so Glacier bay needs to correct this at the manufacturing quality control point. There could be numerous unnecessary returns as well as very good Plummer’s who may have customers due to this issue.
Those two screws on the side... you tighten them in lieu of shutting off the water, when you back them out is it possible to unscrew them out of the valve all the way? Or will they stop?
Son of a bitch!!! You just solved my issue and saved me a shit ton of money calling a plumber, all the way on hot my shower would be lukewarm at best.. thank you so much!!
Do you happen to remember what was the model of the handle ? Because i have been having trouble finding a handle for the danco cartridge 10321 like the one you display to have on this video.
Try to contact Glacier Bay or visit your Home Depot store and ask for help in plumbing Dept. To the best of my knowledge I believe Glacier Bay is a Home Depot Product only.
I tried to remove my previous moen cartridge it was very old and it was a waste of time. I was able to remove it but the replacement cartridge was an unsuccessful event for me. So that’s why it was replaced with the Glacier Bay model. Contact Glacier Bay directly to see if it possible
it may mean that the faucet is in an open position or there is residual water in the lines. it is best prior to unscrewing the allen wrench below. make sure it is in the off position. unscrewing will take place under the faucet. if you shut off the main it will not matter. if a washer or o ring is kinked or mis applied this can also cause a leak. If that is the case you may have to call upon a professional plumber or someone with great knowledge in plumbing. Good luck , Try to re trace your steps and hopefully you can discover what may be the problem. God Bless
I must have a older glacier bay shower because didn’t see the red piece to adjust the temperature. Only a white pice with H and C indication. In need of some help please and thank you.
NovatoNorteno Unfortunately no, I took it apart and it’s been like that since 3 months ago. I have two other bathrooms in my home is why I’ve procrastinated. Also with a busy work schedule. I might just hire a plumber.
