    Since I don't know the brand or type of faucet we're talking about I can only give you a general answer.
    Shut the water off in the cabinet and open up the faucet. Check and clear the inlet ports on the cartridge, if a one handle faucet, or the seats if a two handled one. Now, while the faucet's apart turn the cold water one to flush out the supply while holding a pan over the open faucet. You should have a strong stream coming out of the open faucet now. If yes, reassemble and test, if not click on back. Good luck, Tom

Hot water from cold water tap [ 7 Answers ]

We recently had a plumber in to raise the temperature in our shower. He fiddled about, turning various supply pipes on and off and then deemed he couldn't do anything as he didn't have the part.
