Assuming that you have hot water everywhere else my thoughts are that you have a small bit of rust,sediment or other foreign matter in the control cartridge. It's possible that the scald guard feature of the faucet has slipped so it's not allowing hot water to get thru. Either way if you purchased this new moen will provide replacement parts free.If you are mechanically inclined you can perform these repairs yourself and save significantly.Last time I checked the cartridge,scald guard balancing valve are all one part and cost about ninty bucks. Prepare to be patient and call 1-800-BUY-MOEN. You will need the model number,approx. age and explanation of your problem.Good luck. Hope this is of some help to you. Thanks.P:S they will generally provide installation,adjustment instructions and trouble shooting tips if you ask.

We bought a home and our spare bathroom shower does not work. we replaced the moen valve and still cannot get water to come out of the shower. the toliet and sink in that bathroom work as they should. and...

did you install the valve sideways or upside down? or is there a blockage in the hot line? the valve may be pressure balanced so if there is no water then there may be a blockage on one side. did you solder the valve? if so did you remove the cartridge? when you replaced the cartridge did you grease it with non-petroleum grease?

No hot water on Moen single handle shower faucet. cold ok and shut off is fine

do you have hot water elsewhere? if not, might be that your water heater is not heating.
if you do have hot water elsewhere, did you let the faucet run for a minute or 2.
did you have hot water before? is this a new house? new valve?
need a little more detail.
on posi temp valves, if there were no water coming out of the hot side of the valve, the valve will not operate.

these valves can be adjusted by removing the handle and adjusting the white gear that regulates the hot and cold that come out, try going more to one way if it gets colder then go the other way.

Only warm water from the tub/shower

You can cap the lines at the tub faucet to rule out tub faucet. It maybe mixing there.

Faucet may be bad also the safety stop will alow you to change water temp it can be tricky to adjust water temp.

My Moen Posi-Temp tub valve runs only very cold or very hot. whats wrong?

Your Moen valve is equiped with an anti-scald device (as part of the valve cartridge) which prevents someone from getting scalded by hot water if there's a sudden demand for cold water, i.e. a toilet flush, washing machine filling, etc. Fortunately Moen stands behind their products and will provide a new cartridge.
Contact Moen and describe your problem.

I have a new moen single handle shower faucet that is only giving one temp of water (cold). Only if I have it on very slow will I feel hot water. Any idea how to fix

Did the hot water shut off get turned back on fully after the change? Is the hot water line kinked under the sink? Is the hot water shut off valve working?

Replaced a moen cartidge and now the water is not hot in shower

make sure when you turn on the hot and cold shut off valves all the way and turn the moen on after that. Some times I would get that problem if I turned one(either hot or cold) off then tried the shower.
