Thanks in advance for your help. Any advice would be appreciated. I recently installed a new dishwasher. Immediately I noticed that the hot water to the kitchen sink is completely gone. It is a single handle sink that has no flow when I turn it to the hot water side. Operation is fine on the cold water side. The dishwasher seems to work fine and has hot water. To make matters worse, the valve under the sink to turn off the hot water does not completely shut off the flow of H2O making it difficult to work on. What should I do?

Sounds like when you tapped the hot water off for the dishwasher you disturbed some crud on the pipe walls and it got sucked up into your kitchen faucets cartridge hot water inlet ports where it's now blocking them.
Besides the angle stop you have two other places to turn off the hot water.
One is at the cold water supply to the water heater and the other is the house shut off. You must open up the faucet and clean the inlet ports. While you have the valve apart place a pan over the open valve to reduce splash and turn on the hot water for a minute to flush out the line. Good luck, Tom

Worked great. Hot water is back. Thanks!
