We have a 4 year old townhome in which one of the 3 showers( one that gets used the least) has no pressure in when I turn the mixer from cold to hot. Also it's important to note when I have the shower running on cold and switch to hot, as soon as I turn the handle to middle the shower shuts off(lose all pressure).

I tried a new cartridge, but it didn't help. Also tried putting that cartridge into a different shower and it works. So I'm 100% sure it's not the cartridge. This started happening randomly.

Brand:CAE
Cartridge: HK-40.

Try opening your valves one at a time to see it you are getting any water pressure. Do this while everything
is open and then flush it out.

Hi, did you find out what happened ? I got the same issue but haven’t tried the new cartridge yet since I sudden got all 3 of them lost pressure after the plumber replaced the pipe. He didn’t know why too :(
 
You've tried exercising the stops? The flat head screws on the left and right. Sounds like your hot isn't coming on.
