How do you fix water faucet when you turn it on and the water stops its only the cold water?
If the handle make a complete or almost a complete turn, it has a washer that makes the seal to stop the water. This washer will sometimes come apart or come off the stem and get stuck in the opening for the water. Take the stem out and replace it. Shut the water off, there is probably a shut off under the sink, take the handle off. It is most likely held on with a screw in the top. The stem is held in with a nut. Take the nut off and the handle unscrews out of the faucdt. The washer is on the bottom of the stem and held on witha small brass screw.

This is just a guess. If only the hot or the cold stops and not both of them, it might be that the washer in the shut off valve has come off and is plugging the line. When you shut off the main and then open another faucet, the back pressure in the line pushes the washer out. If this is the case, the washer should still be in the shut off valve. Turn off the main and take the stem out of the faucet. The washer should be the valve.
