Reply to comment by FabioTheGeek in Shower valve versus handle replacement? by knewtoff

I just wanted to follow up, I removed one of the other handles to see what was in there and got this:

This looks a bit different than other things that have been shared so far and not sure if this is a different process or whatnot?

That looks like a Glacier Bay Diverter Cartridge, Home Depot sell replacements under the Danco brand.

Those cartridges are usually just press fit in there but you might be able to just take that extension piece to the store and match it up if you don't feel comfortable pulling the cartridge out.

Ah!!! Thank you!! I think I found it - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Glacier-Bay-Aragon-Tub-and-Shower-Connector-RP90016/206131710 — after pulling apart, the cartridge seems fine, it’s just this extension piece that is the issue

You're welcome, glad to hear it. Hopefully they also have a handle on stock for you 👍

The diverter valve is in the middle. Its different than the hot and cold valves. Those are just on off valves. Determine which valve is faulty and replace it. But if it were me Im replacing all 3 while Im in there.
