    One handle or two on the sink faucet?

    Is your house on slab or raised foundation ? How far is kitchen from the water heater ?

    Back to you

    Have you had any work done recently? There could be a cross connection some place in your system where cold water can enter the hot water system. Good luck, Tom

    I think a couple more details are necessary. My opinion is that the water isn't reaching your kitchen due to pressure issues. You may need to install a circulator pump to keep the water moving along.

    Hello dannyparish111,

    Please respond to the experts above, also if you tell us the brand and the model number of your kitchen faucet will help, it sounds like you may have debris in hot water port of the faucet, Thanks.

    Yes sorry took while to get back to you, I think it is my one handle faucet. I cut the cold off under my sink and it got real hot. So some how it is letting cold mix with my hot. Do I need to replace my faucet?

    In this case, you would need to replace the cartridge

    What is the cartridge?

    Cartridge is the interior part of the faucet that mixes hot and cold water before it hits spout

    Hope that helps

    Here are some videos and instructions to help you visualize this job.

    How To Repair Cartridge Sink FaucetsĀ at The Home Depot

    Repairing a Single Handle Cartridge Faucet

    Helps if you knew the brand, but the procedure is pretty similar and cartridges can be purchased at Home Depot or any large parts/plumbing store. Got any handy friends?
