    Hi WTF09...

    Shut water off and then remove the STEM assembly... see what you can see. Clean washer, interior of valve and stem assembly (pulse water on/off for a second with rag over hot water supply to remove anything that might be caught in line)... then re-install.

    If that fails, then off to store to get a new stem unit (bring defective with you) or call manufacturer (number should have come with faucet) and they will send one to you , perhaps overnight, if you ask them nicely enough... ;)

    Let us know if need more...
