My kitchn faucet will only dispense cold water. The hot side is only a drizzle. I removed the faucet and removed a small amount of debris. That,however, did not help. I shut off the water supply hoping that any debris will drain down, so far no results.

The debris will not drain down so skip that thinking. Pull the cartrdige or valve and flush the lines before reinstalling. Is it a cartridge or mixing valve or what?
