    Why doesn't hot water come out my bathtub faucet?
    I live in a mobile home and in my bathroom the cold water faucet only works. When you turn on the hot it only drips out, even when turned on all the way. What is wrong?

    Hi Clooneylooney

    There is something caught up in the hot washer/stem assembly or there could be an issue at the hot water shutoff itself.

    I'd suggest starting at the faucet and quickly disassembling the hot side of the faucet (water off, of course) to see if there is anything loose or caught up under the stem/washer.

    While the stem is out, turn the water on for a second to clear the line. If the water flow is poor when you have the stem out then the issue may be back at the shutoff... a little more involved to resolve... ;)

    Check the faucet and then pop back to discuss, OK?
