Why does my shower not run hot or cold?
The most likely explanation is that the shower alone is not pulling enough hot water to keep the tankless heater on. Try running hot water in any faucet (say the kitchen faucet) and see if that keeps the shower water hot. – Jim Stewart Jul 19 ’17 at 23:15 Your method seemed to work.
Can a hot bath get rid of a cold?

Can a hot and Cold Faucet be used in the same direction?
A faucet with separate handles for hot and cold can mean double trouble if either one turns in an unexpected direction. While replacement valve stems for older faucets are identified as hot and cold by the direction they’re threaded, newer faucets use washerless cartridges that fit either side.
What should I do if my faucet handle turn the other way?
A cartridge is much easier to install backward, leading to confusion and potentially hazardous changes in water temperature. Thankfully, this is one plumbing annoyance that’s an easy fix. Turn off the hot and cold water supplies to the faucet. Close the drain and place a towel in the bottom of the sink to prevent lost parts.
