Why does hot water come from the cold faucet even when I turned off the hot water valve under all my sinks?

∙ 12y agoBecause the valve under the sink isn't working. It could be plugged up and not closing all of the way or could be the actual valve you turn broke from the shut off assembly inside of the valve. You will have to find the other shut off for the hot water. Hopefully it is right at your hot water heater or you may have to shut off the water to the whole house. And while you do that, replace the valve under your sink so you don't have to do it like that again. Usually you can buy one for 10 bucks at the hardware store.

What could be the reason for not getting water from the kitchen sink faucets when there is full water pressure on all the other house faucets?
The water valve under the sink is turned off or has gone bad. It is possible that there is a blockage in the faucet itself. I'd start by ensuring that the water valve is turned off, and take the faucet apart and look for anything out of the ordinary.

Kitchen faucet doesn't work but dishwasher does?
Possibly unscrew your aerator at the end of the spout and see if the screen is clogged. Blow it out and rescrew the aerator on. If that isn't the problem, sometimes things get caught in the spout. Unscrew the spout and turn the water on. If there is water coming from there and not out the spout when it is hooked up, the spout is plugged. If no water coming out when the spout is off, rehook spout and change cartridges or stems in the faucet AFTER shutting the water off. Depends on the brand of faucet, check the instructions for the brand and model. Also your kitchen dishwasher and sinks are run on seperate valves. The dishwasher valve is usually under the sinks (causing the water to go to the dishwasher first) the valve that was installed for the sink (before the dishwasher) may be bad too.
