I have the hose connected to the hot water. What could be the problem?

Yes the hot water is turned on.

Take off the end of that hose that is connected to the washing machine. Now drop that end of the hose into the basin or into the drain and turn on the valve at the other end of the hose. Does hot water come out of it? If yes then your problem is in the washing machine. (Because you know the valve is OK and you know the water heater is OK and you know the hose is not kinked or clogged.) Otherwise if no hot water try turning that valve on and off again and check the little strainers at the ends of the hose (replacing the strainers or washing them out).
That leaves you with the hot water valve of the washing machine as the guilty party. Just as a double check, take the cold water hose off from the machine and put that hot water hose on where the cold hose was. Start the machine and if hot water is coming in now then you are 100% positive the washing machine valve is at fault.
Now put the hoses back and think what to do next. If you have some skills at working on things like that you can get a replacement valve set at an internet place like http://www.repairclinic.com/. There is one screw holding that valve block onto the machine. There is a pair of wires on the electrical coil of each valve. There is a hose going out of each valve into the machine tub. If you can deal with those issues get the part and do the replacement.
Otherwise call a repair guy and tell him you have a bad valve on a specific model washing machine and you need a service call. If you think the washing machine hosing was a problem, wait till you see the hosing you get with the repair bill.

Even though the valve may be open on the hot water, it may not in fact be open. There is a screw that holds the washer in place, if the head has rusted off when you open the valve, the washer doesn't lift and you still have no water. To test this unhook the hot water hose and get a bucket and put it under the spout. open the valve and see if you have water flow. If you do, then you may have a bad hot water solenoid valve and it is not opening to allow water to enter.
Good luck

About once a month I have to remove the hoses from the back of my washer and clean the screens. I would suspect that as long as the water is on and the hot water heater works, then a clogged screen is your problem.

chilly water won't harm your laundry. Many detergents are formulated to scrub in chilly water. All-tempa-cheer for one. So your washing device purely has one inlet hose. the only ingredient i will propose to get around it is to attach it to a faucet that has a mixing valve geared up-in. occasion may well be a kitchen sink with one nozzle which you will regulate the water temperature from diverse factors. Left = warm, ideal = chilly. Set the water temperature your self this way.

Either the hot water spigot is turned off, or there is a blockage inside the washer.

your hot water valve on your washer is more then likely stuck in the closed position.

I'm not a mechanic. I'm not really sure, the only thing I can offer is to call a repair-person.
