I took it apart and saw a washer, looked fine (brand new). Any thoughts? And the water doesn't get hot, only warm. Thanks for the help. Coop Attached Thumbnails

Where is the diverter leaking? is the water coming to the mixing vale on the left side hot (touch it). There may be a temerature limit stop on the front of the valve. Try loosening or tightening the brass screw on the front of the valve.
