Need a shower valve replacement cartridge

The thermostatic cartridge is the part of the shower valve which control's the temperature of the water, therefore if there is a problem with the water temperature, the absolute probability points towards the thermostatic cartridge being at fault.

I would suggest you extract the thermostatic cartridge, remove any bits blocking water flow into the cartridge and then soak it in limescale remover. Put silicone grease on the O'rings. Install it again. If that doesn't work, the element within the cartridge could be faulty, so you could try replacing the element. If that doesn't work you will have to either replace the entire shower valve or replace the cartridge.

All of what I've said is based on the assumption that you are receiving hot water to your shower valve.

I've been working with thermostatic cartridge for many years and can tell you with confidence the above information likely applies to yourself. Shower Thermostatic Cartridge Spares

What is the model number of the unit in question? What color was the old cartridge in the valve and the new cartridge that you replaced it with? If no model number do you have any pictures of this valve/trim in question? It could be that you got the wrong replacement cartridge or something is not properly aligned within the valve.

you need to replace the hose once the braided ones start leaking , turn off the water source, remove the hose, Its gonna leak some so be careful,, take that hose with you to a Home depot or lowes, some place like that so you get the correct size end pieces

Your issue sounds like a control issue and not shower head. Look for shut off valves near the control valve. If all is okay, disassemble and clean the control valve.
