    You have dirt inside your faucet in the cold side, Shut off water to the faucet remove the stem, open the water for a second to flush out any dirt from the faucet, inspect the washer and the seat inside the faucet if every thing is OK install the stem and check if there is cold water now see the Images below, good Luck.

    Do a John says. You may also find a loose washer that is blocking water flow or malfunctioning end of the stem. Remove the stem, inspect it. You should be able to recognize what's causing the problem. Go to Home Depot, get new parts, install them on the stem, reinstall stem - and all should work fine now..

    Let us know how you did... Good luck... Milo
