  1. i don't know


  2. Is it just one faucet that's not working or more than one?

    If just one, then it could be a temporary obstruction, so try this,

    open the hot water faucet, hold your hand or finger tight against the faucet opening, and slowly turn on the cold water.  If it's a temporary blockage, this may back wash the item clear of the washer.

      If this is one of the newer type with a cartridge, then turn off the water supply and replace the cartridge.

    OK, you didn't say that in the first place. If only cold water is out of all faucets, then there is no heat source in the tank.  If gas, then possible thermocouple is bad on pilot light, and if electric either the breaker is tripped, or the heating element is shot.  Also very possible the thermostat is bad for either gas or electric.

  3. If you have cold water coming out of the hot side of all of your faucets you need to check your pilot light on the water heater.  On the bottom of the heater under the gas valve there is a small metal panel that just pops off. Take it off and look where the silver tube runs off the gas valve and goes into the heater, There should be a small flame at the other end.

    If it is an electric water heater then check the breaker. If it is tripped try to reset it.  If it trips again call a repair man.

  4. The hot water tank isn't working properly. Make sure the gas or electricity is turned on to it. If the hot water line to the faucet was broken, there would be water flooding somewhere. So, the first place to check is the hot water tank that supplies the faucet if there's no flooding.  

  5. do you have HOT water in other faucets, is any water coming out,cold, warm? look under sink on left side, there should be a valve that cuts off hot water ( cold on right) check to see iff it's on all the way
