Shut the water off to the valve and open up the hot side. Clear out any crud in the inlet ports in the cartridge. Now open up the stops and flush out the supplies. You should have a full stream while flushing the supplies. Reassemble and test. Good luck, Tom

Your faucet's built like this, (see image). Shut the water off to the faucet and remove the left (Hot) handle, stem and washer asseembly. Now hold a pan over the open valve body and turn the hot water supply on for a 15 count. You swould have a strong stream of hot water coming out of the open valve body. If not then click on back. Good luck, Tom
