If the cold side runs well out of the faucet, and you get NOTHING out of the faucet on the hot side, I would assume the hot side is plugged internally.

Easy fix is to remove the hot supply tube off the faucet, set it in a bucket and turn on the water to ensure the line is clear- if the line shoots water, reconnect the supply to the faucet, remove the stop end, and set it in the bucket, turn on the faucet for the cold side and it should flush inside the faucet and out into the bucket.

This should clear any obstruction in the immediate area.

If step one produces no water- you have a block in the feed pipe and that typically entails replacing a chunk of it if you can’t knock it loose by tapping on the pipe/shocking it out.

Does it run cold? Or not run at all? If cold and bathroom hot, it's piping problem. If doesn't run, valve closed. If no hot water anywhere but runs cold, water heater problem. If gas, fire out.

Why don't I get hot water at the master shower

Check the pipes that go to your bathroom from the heater. Possible blockage can be found by how hot the pipes are.

The hot water will not come out of myTuscany® Jensen™ One-Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet

I'll assume you have hot water flow to other faucets in the house, hot water to this faucet worked previously, and cold water flows at this faucet<?>. I'll further assume you haven't experienced sub-zero temperatures.

Then;
Check supply shut off (under sink) is open. Hot supply is "usually" to your left and cold is to your right. Twist valve CCW to open.

If there are no other shut off valves between this faucet and the hot water tank, then likely there's a blockage. It could be blocked anywhere between the hot water tank, up to the inside of the kitchen faucet valve. Most likely inside the kitchen valve, as it has the smallest passageways.

I have a dishwasher whirlpool DU945PWSQO I like to know if i have to used hot & cool water install to the dishwasher. Or i have to used hot water only

Hi,
You only need to hook your dishwasher up to the hot water only. You can run a separate pipe from any hot water pipe, but in most kitchens the dishwasher is next to the kitchen sink, so the hot water is just teed off of the piping under the sink...

Hi, i have a problem with the hot water in my bathroom, & nowere else . The hot water in my bathroom comes out rusty, but not in my kitchen

Chances are you use the kitchen hot water a lot more. Flush the bathroom hot water line by running it til the water gets cold a few times. This should remove the rust. Also, do this with the screen removed from the faucet.

Hot water tap only warm water in bathroom but hot in kitchen

Usually when you are having a problem at only one fixture, and not any others it is a sign that you have a faulty fixture. Hope this helps.
