    Low hot water pressure in washing machine and kitchen sink
    I have low hot water pressure in my kitchen sink, and over time it got lower and lower. This happened once and I just changed the entire faucet. I believe it is a blockage but I don't know where to start to unblock it. The same for my washing machine. I now no longer use the hotwater because it comes out as a trickle. Every other faucet is fine in the house. What should I do?
    Thank you.

    Turn the hot water off at the water heater supply and open a hot water faucet to bleed off pressure, close the faucet. Now disconnect the hot water angle stop at the sink and the hot water hose bib at the washer. Place buckets under the open lines and have someone turn the hot water back on to flush out the branch. Is there a strong stream coming out? Let me know. Tom
