The hot water on my sink just randomly stopped working today. It worked just fine last night and earlier.?

Question

We have hot water everywhere else in the house, and the cold water works in the sink. However, the hot water isn't going into the dishwasher either. Any ideas? We are having really cold temperatures right now, but I really don't think the line is frozen. Help!

Answer 1

Make sure a valve didn't get shut off by mistake or accident but there is a good chance there is a frozen pipe if the pipe is touching and outside wall if you have a basement try blowing on the pipe where it goes up towards the sink with a hair blower if you can't get to it there try blowing the hair dryer on the pipe under the sink some times leaving the door to the compartment under the sink will prevent the pipes from freezing in very cold weather it might even be enough to thaw out the pipe

Answer 2

Hi there
Try undoing the hose off the outlet on the wall, then get a long piece of wire probably about 18 inches long and try ramming it up the hose you may have a blocked hose from the wall to the tap.
Also another possible solution is to get some boiling hot water and very carefully after you have turned the water off, pour the hot water down the pipe in the wall it may be a blockage near the ground
If you use galvanized or metal piping it sometimes rusts on the inside and causes flakes to fall off and get blocked in the pipes, boiling hot water will help free that problem.

Answer 3

That same thing just happened to me, but mine is the second bathroom. They told me it was because of the position of the water pipe. Something about it being on a "v" pipe, and it's probably got some kind of valve disruption. I have my HOA looking into fixing mine. All I know is that that water is freakin cold!! Good luck.

Answer 4

If it is connected under your kitchen sink and your sink is working fine then most likely your water valve solenoid is bad and will have to be replaced.
