    Cold Water from sink
    Cold water won't come out of one sink in my house but warm water will. Cold water comes out of every other sink or bathtub in my house. I checked the shutoff valve and it is not turned off.

    Aerator probably needs cleaning.

    If warm water is flowing then, most likely, it is not the aerator...;)

    Possibly a frozen pipe?? How cold has it gotten in your area as of late??

    Let us know.

    Sorry my assumption was a dual valve faucet set up. Should have asked the OP first.

    We don't see many dual valve setups nowadays, Talaniman, but your assumption was just as valid as mine if I think about it!!

    Always nice to see you on the pages!
