Good evening. I'm new here so sorry if this is not in the right place.
Just installed a new faucet in our kitchen. Right now I am not getting any hot water out of the faucet.
I have checked everything I can think of. Here is what I've tried:
1. I have shut off the flow from the cold valve allowing only the hot valve to feed the faucet. It is warmer than the straight cold, but barely. Water pressure is fine.
2. I have tested all the hot water in the house, the three other faucets in the bathrooms, the faucets in the showers and tubs...all getting nice hot water.
3. The dishwasher that is fed from a valve just below the one that is not working is running hot as normal.
4. I unhooked the valve from the faucet and let it run unattached to the faucet, and it is still running cold.
The faucet worked fine up until i put the new one in. It makes no sense to me at all.
Any ideas? It seems so strange that it is limited to that one valve, and that it is not quite as cold as the other but barely...i mean barely. If i let it sit for a while and then turn it on I can get a tiny glimpse of hope... maybe for a half second it is warmer, then right back to cold.
