    Water pressure
    Problem: Hot water in kitchen has very low water pressure.
    Because of it we are unable to run the dishwasher and can barely wash dishes by hand.

    I have snaked the pipes to see if there was a clog.
    Hot water pressure in Bathroom is okay.
    What can it be?

    Portable or built in DW? Disconnect the hot water line at the faucet and place it in a bucket. Turn the water on. Pressure? If so, Pull the cartridge and clean out the ports. If no, it is farther back. Check the washer in the stop valve.
