    Remove and clean the cartridge, sounds like a clogged hot inlet.

    Turn off cold water stop underneath the sink. Make certain the hot water stop is open. Open the faucet, any water you get will have to come from the hot water side. If it is not hot, you must have a cross contamination some where. If you don't get any water you must have a blockage some where. Probably in the faucet it self

    Turn off hot water supply to water heater then check to see if there is still water pressure on the hot side of the faucet, if you still have water pressure then somebody piped cold water to both valves to sink.
