Sounds like the cartridge is stripped where it goes into the handle. If it is not coming on at all from either the hot or the cold....I would say there is a blockage inside the valve body.

You need to install a new moen cartridge its a single handle posi-temp cartridge you should be able to get 1 for free if you are the original owner by calling 1-800-buy-moen more than likely when soldering in the new valve a little bit of solder broke free into the cartridge or hard water. When the water gets turned off and then turned back on it can break free alot of particles that can get jammed up in these cartridges or any fixture for that matter you will need a cartridge puller to perform this job with ease.
Sounds like the cause of your problem is the pressure balancing spool. Call Moen at
1-800-289-6636 and explain the problem. They will send a repair part to you free of charge. the link below is a "blow up" of your valve.
If you pull the silver knob on the tub spout up, the diverter located located inside will redirect water up to the shower head and when lowered it will return the water to the tub spout. It sounds as thought the diverter is not working properly. Hope this helps..
This is not necessarily an issue, air enters slowly and eventually lets some water escape. This may happen until the water is lower than the highest point of the shower discharge circuit.
there may be some debris caught in the cartridge's,got push'ed in when water was turned back on.take apart and look in the brass valve body to see if any thing is in there.flush it out before you re-assemble it.take a good look at the cartridge,make sure there is no scuff mark's or any deformities.
You may just have a piece of sediment lodged in the cartridge from when the water was shut off during installation. Carefully remove the cartridge and turn the water on to flush out any obstructions. re install the cartridge and test.
change the washers first if that don't work change the inserts buy all at same time and return if not needed . Thank you for useing fixya please rate me
