Open the valve and replace the "wagon wheel" looking gasket that sits below the diverter.

sounds like the spider gasket has come out of place. Make sure the pump is off and remove the top of the valve and inspect the spider gasket (looks like a wagon wheel). If it's out of place, sometimes you can reinstall it with a silicone lubricant (clean thoroughly and lube). There should be some good spring tension and you may have to depress the selection handle to reinstall the valve. Hope this helps!

If you remove the top of the valve you will see a spider gasket that has pulled out of place. remove this and clean and dry throughly. Add a small amount of silicone sealer to the bottom of a new one and install in groves then replace top of valve and let sit for a couple of hours. That should fix. If not you will need to replace the top half of the valve also.
