Danze opulence diverter handle does not work

My danze shower handle has a tub/shower diverter handle below the main handle. It used to divert water from tub to shower and back but now it does not. You can move it to either side but both tub and shower water comes out at the same time (one doesn't shut off). How to fix this?

SORRY, ITS SO.... BUT GOOD FOR YOU THIS ISN'T MY FIRST RODEO... TELL YOUR HUSBAND TO ADD THIS TO HIS NEVER ENDING TO-DO LIST: YOU CAN ADD A SHOWER HEAD VALVE WHICH DEPENDING ON YOUR FINISH ONLY COSTS ABOUT 15 DOLLARS AND TAKES 2 MINUTES TO INSTALL. I ACTUALLY HAVE ONE ON MY DANZE VENETIAN BRONZE TUB AND SHOWER FAUCET FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON. YOU SIMPLY REMOVE THE SHOWER HEAD, THEN ADD THE VALVE, THEN ATTACH THE SHOWER HEAD TO THE VALVE. ADJUST FOR THE DESIRED PRESSURE. SORRY HUBBIE

SOURCE: how do you tighten or remove handle on a danze

Not to familar with faucet itself, but on most shower faucet's, there is a screw that holds it on. Most of the time there is a plastic face plate on the front of the handles, you pop that off and the screw is beneath, as you loosen you have to hold the handle in place, otherwise as you loosen the screw it will turn the water on.

Other fauet handles will have a set screw , usually on the bottom side of the handle body,( the part of the handle closest to the shower wall, either a small flat head or allen wrech should be all you need. good luck.

Why does the water not flow from shower valve when turned on?

Do you have water coming out of the tub spout and not the shower head? If so how does the water get directed to the shower head,is it by pulling up the diverter on the tub spout?If water is still coming out of the tub spout then the diverter is bad and the tub spout needs to be replaced.

The water comes out of both the shower head and the tab simultaneously. If the knob controlling the water flow is turned to the side that control the water to shower head then about 75% of the water flows...

I will have to assume this issue developed and was not present at first use after the initial installation.

There are generally only two reasons for your problem. The first is that the diverter mechanism is simply wearing out and/or broken. The second it that there is a foreign object preventing it from doing its job correctly. Either way the diverter must come out. I have provided a couple of links below that should help get it out.

Once out, put a wadded up towel over the end of the tub spout opening so as to prevent any water from coming out of it. Then, for just a moment, turn your shower on full and adjust your temperature from full cold to full hot. This process should dislodge any foreign matter and send it out the opening the diverter came out of and also will probably get you wet. I usually plug the tub so I can catch what, if anything, comes out. Having a second person holding a bowl over the diverter opening helps reduce the water splash.

Rinse off the diverter and reinstall it. Turn the shower on and see if there is any difference in how much water comes out the spout while in the shower mode. If nothing has changed then the next step is to replace the diverter.

The diverter assembly part number is A603819

Moen shower valves are failing

the diverter is stuck. you have to move it up and down to free it up. the diverter is the mechanism attached to the tub spout that switches the water from shower to tub. you may also need a new diverter if fiddling with it doesn't work.

Shower diverter push handle is squirting water out

If you are handy, the best solution is to call delta and have them send you a new diverter. They will need the model of your faucet. The new diverter will come with instructions on the install process. As far as fixing it without the new diverter, I don't believe you will be able to.

Water sprays out the diverter

Remove hot/cold button in handle, remove screw/pull off handle. Remove the two screws in the wall plate/remove plate. Use a wrench to remove the diverter assembly. Get new diverter assy and reinstall eveything. You don't need to turn off the water.
