  Some users have reported hot and cold water being reversed after installation. This can occur if the cartridge is installed incorrectly or if the faucet design has specific requirements for orientation. Verify the cartridge's alignment pegs are correctly matched with the faucet body holes. If your cartridge has a red collar for temperature adjustment, ensure it is set correctly or consider removing it if it causes extreme hot water issues, as noted by some users for older Glacier Bay models.

• Difficulty with Handle Movement:

  If the handle is stiff or difficult to move, ensure the cartridge is properly lubricated (if applicable, check product specifications for lubricant requirements) and that no mineral buildup is obstructing movement. Also, check that the handle screw is not overtightened.
