Hoping to get some advice from any plumbers, if we have one on this forum.

We have a Delta shower faucet in our tub, and it's developed a leak from the spout. I called Delta, and they sent a replacement cartridge for the shower...Google says that the cartridge is the most common cause of a leak.

The cartridge is the right kind, the part number on the new one is exactly the same. I followed the instructions to the letter, and replaced the whole assembly, even the seats and springs at the back.

Turned the water back on, and it still leaks from the spout.

I'm out of ideas. I'm planning to call a plumber to look at it, but in the meantime, can someone offer any insight?
