I assumed a problem with the knob, but I removed that and it seemed
fine.
The problem seems to be internal to the valve.
Anybody fixed a similar shower?

There is stuff on the Internet but not masses.

Having a bad day for breaking things.


Scaled up?


No, we have a water softener.

Some vigorous twisting from very cold to very hot demonstrated that it was
incredibly stiff at both extremes, but did free it off in the mid range
that we use.

So issue parked for another day. Which is good.
