Delta bath faucet stuck in shower position?

We have a jacuzzi tub and separate stand up shower. the faucet in the tub has a pull down thing where the water comes out that is supposed to divert the water up to the shower head ( if we had one there). Well somehow it got pulled down and now no water will come out of the tub faucet and i dont know how to get it diverted back down to the tub faucet. Does anyone know what I am supposed to do- and please dont say ';call a plumber'; or ';call delta';. I am asking to see if anyone here knows, if not THEN I'll call a plumber....... only answer if you know how to fix it please!!!! Thanks in advance!!!Delta bath faucet stuck in shower position?
I'm surprised there would be a diverter in there if there's no plumbing to support a shower head. There are two possible reasons this has happened.





When you have a tub/shower combination you divert the water to the shower head. Water pressure holds the diverter in the ';shower'; position until you shut off the water, then the diverter returns to the tub position. Since there's no shower head attached there's pressure on the diverter but no way to release it. I'd try to turn off the water, at the service shutoff if there is one or by temporarily shutting off the water to the entire home. Then ';turn on'; the water in the tub. This should relieve the pressure and allow the diverter to return to the tub position or allow you to turn it back.





Some diverters use a lever to change the diverter from tub to shower. The lever may be attached to a strip of metal that, in turn, regulates where the water goes or it may directly move a simple valve to change the water flow. If the pin connecting the lever to the valve has broken you're going to have to remove the face or escutcheon from the front of the mechanism so you can see what's going on inside the wall, then take appropriate repair action.





Hope this helps you decide what to do.Delta bath faucet stuck in shower position?
Hi,


I'm assuming your talking about a diverter tub spout. Had ran into the same problem in the past. You could turn the tub spout with a pair of channel locks or a pipe wrench so that were the water comes out faces up, then fill it with WD40, wait 30 mins then push and pull the handle to get it free again.





Or you could buy a new tub spout for about $20., there very easy to install.
