Why do I have no pressure in my kitchen sink when the water gets hot?

Answer 1

try taking the aireator off the faucet, it may be clogged.

Answer 2

Hi,
If you are living in a newer age home, it's probably because they use a "plastic type" water supply line for all your faucets.
I live in a manufactured home, and this occurs at every usage at the kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and shower.
It's because the pipe (tubing), as it warms up, it expands, literally into another inside diameter size supply line, that's what causes the pressure drop. Every time this happens to me, I just turn up the hot water more at the faucet.
Hope this helps, Dave

Answer 3

is this only in your kitchen sink? do you lose pressure just on the hot? it could be that the inside of the supply line under the sink is swelling shut when it gets hot. replacing this line should be cheap,5 or 6 bucks, and should only take about 10 minutes or so.

good luck

Answer 4

If the only place which you're having a difficulty is the kitchen sink. the situation would be in the valve. you in all probability have a single lever valve it somewhat is allowing chilly to bypass while the nice and snug is became on. it somewhat is demanding to tell without seeing.

Answer 5

Remove the sink aerator and run some water. You might have some loose material that has plugged that up.

Answer 6

Insure that:

a) the water from the h ot water tank is turned completely on;
b) If you have not flushed the hot water heater.. it should be done at least once a year

Answer 7

Unscrew the the little tip from the end of the faucet. Clean the screen and put it back together. That should take care of it.

Answer 8

my guess: there's not enough hot water being heated in your hot water tank. so it's really slow. check it out.

Answer 9

your hot water heater is probably clogged
