If other sinks have hot water, then this faucet or its shut-off valve is bad. The knob could be stripped or the valve itself could have failed -- hard to tell without seeing and touching it.

There may be more than one shut off valve. Check along the line to the hot water heater for any other valves. The line also could possibly be clogged, although that is unlikely. Or you may have a bad valve somewhere, shut-off or sink. Shut off the water when working on any valves so you don't get burnt or have water spraying all over the place.

With the tap open turn the shutoff valve off & on numerous situations, this would flush out countless the grit which will be contained in the valve that keeps it from shuting off tight. If that do not do it turn it off so a ways as you could & then you truthfully desire a channel lock pliers to teach the valve slightly tighter. If that do not artwork think ofyou've got to seem for yet another valve. think ofyou've got to teach off the water on the nice and cozy water heater or on the meter. be careful that you do not open different taps in case you in ordinary words turn off th warm water on the heater. chilly water can get into the nice and cozy water line if both taps or a blending valve are became on together. this would reason water to go back out the position you're operating. in case you turn off the water on the heater or meter you could favor to modify the close off, or a minimum of replace the washer in it. good success.

Unless you are well versed in plumbing you might want to call a plumber. Although you could do it yourself. Simply turn off the water at the main shut off valve and replace the knob or try to rid it of any objects, (such as rust, minerals or whatever) That may be causing the problem.

Don't know what kind of faucet you have. Could be a bit of rust or mineral deposits clogging the cartridge in your faucet if it's a more modern type. Or just a cartridge that needs replacing. Could be the washer became damaged and stuck somewhere it cuts off the flow on an older type. Is the handle stripped and turning when the stem isn't? Could be pipes filled with mineral deposits to the point where they need replacing (rare, but possible).

Shut off Valves do go bad and do not open and close. Be careful. Make sure the water is turned off downstairs before checking if it is the valve.

you have something in the water line in that sink on the hot side. Either unscrew the spout make sure there is not something blocking it or call a plumber

Most likely some sort of obstruction in the hot side of your faucet. Take it apart and clean it out.
