I tried to open the faucet today, and water does not come out. I used the shower yesterday, and the rest of the faucets in the house work. Here is a pic of it:

It could possibly be a stuck balancing spool in the cartridge. If so you'll need to turn the water off to the house, disassemble the faucet and thoroughly clean all the internal components and reassemble.

That would only affect either the hot OR cold, but not both. We need a larger picture.

Those 2 white pieces mesh together, one goes inside the other. Align both tabs so that they are vertical when they are installed into the barrel of the faucet.

Thank you so much. It is working fine now. My other error was putting in the cartridge upside down, and once I fixed that, it worked. ( one comment for those new to the task; don't forget to turn off the water before you pull out the cartridge )
