Good Afternoon:
We have three bathrooms (2 upstairs adjacent to one another) and one bathroom in the basement below these two. The hotwater heater is located next to the bathroom in the basement. We also have two sink areas (one in the kitchen upstairs and one in the basement) and the three in the bathrooms. PROBLEM: All of our faucets release hot water at the same temperature (once the water is allowed to run until the hot water shows up) except for the shower faucet in the upstairs bathroom. It will not release the same temperature of hot water; only a warm temperature of hot water. It is a 3 year old Delta single knob control which controls the shower and the bathtub water. Any idea why this would be? Is there a setting on the Delta knob that needs to be adjusted to allow more hot water? Thanks for any help you can provide.

there is one under the handle, but we cannot tell if that is the problem, or not. You will have to try to adjust it and see what happens.
