Here is the deal. I have a problem with the kitchen faucet.
It is a moen single lever, see link below. At first i thought maybe the cartridge, but this is whats going on. If i move the single lever to the left the hot water pressure is great. If i move it all the way to the right until the lever stops the cold water runs very very low, BUT IF i move the lever ever so slightly back towards the left ( but still on the right side) the pressure increases and it is steaming hot with the lever on the right????
I took it all apart, looked at the cartridge and cleaned it, put it back together but confused as to why hot water is coming out of the cold side as well??

Moen will probably give you everything new or at least that part. They are pretty good like that. Call them. You might have to send a picture of what you have.
