Hello.
The shower is almost identical to the one in this link, except it has a sliding button instead of a push button on one of the knobs.
The hot water knob had become almost impossible to turn to reduce the temperature after the point where the button clicked, so I decided to remove it to take a look and I think it has now become easier to turn but now the water has become too warm for a shower.
I have searched and seen a few suggestions on this site for similar posts, but before I try any of them, I think the suggestions could be further narrowed down due to the fact that the problem only suddenly happened when I removed the knob and re-fitted it. I have seen suggestions about scale, but why would that suddenly be a problem just by removing/re-fitting the knob? I've also seen a suggestion that the knob may not be fitted the right way, but whichever way it is fitted, it turns half a turn anyway, so can fitting it the wrong way really have any effect of the temperature? Wouldn't it just be a case of the button/handle being in the wrong positions visually? I have tried re-fitting the knob in different positions but this hasn't made any difference.
Just an extra question for any manufacturers that may be reading this, when a person is taking a shower, wet and soapy hands are to be expected. Is there a reason you design knobs with tiny, fiddly 'grips' and buttons?
Good to be back! It's now almost impossible to avoid sites with the same cookies problem!
Thank you.
