    Pipe may be frozen. Hot water everywhere but in kitchen
    We have had very cold weather. I have hot water every where but in the kitchen. I have a town home and the kitchen sink is right up against the out side wall. What to do?

    Hi Wudi and welcome, open the cabinet doors and if you have a small heater try and warm up under the sink. Good luck and lets us know how it goes. P.S. also watch for a leak if the pipe has burst.

    Good ideas from PT. No hot or cold, right? If you don't have a heater a hair dryer will doo but do not use any flames like a torch. Stay in the immediate area until the pipe thaws so you can shut off your main if a burst pipe starts leaking. Most supply pipe, copper or galvanized,can take a small amount of expansion from some freezing ut they all have a breaking point so stay by the sink. Check out your main shut off first, make sure it operates before melting the pipe
