I wonder if the knob has become loose or otherwise is no longer engaging the diverter valve inside. Might just be a loose screw so that the knob is no longer shifting the mechanism which redirects the flow.

Next check the center valve and see if it needs repairs.

This morning I turn the center knob and after a very small stream started coming out of the shower nozzle, there was a very loud pipe rattling noise and no water was coming out of the nozzle. So, not believing what I heard, I tried it again and turned the knob all the way to the open position. At that point there was no water coming out of the shower nozzle, just all still pouring into the tub. What's the problem? I did listen to see if I heard water running or dripping inside the wall, but can hear nothing. Fortunately we have another bathtub, but need to get this one working again. Thanks for all your suggestions in advance, Betsy Teamwork: Together we achieve the extraordinary.
