Why is hot water coming out of my cold water line in my kitchen sink?
Monday, July 21st, 2008Tammy S asked:
When I come home from work and go to refill my dog’s water bowl with cold water from the kitchen sink, the water instantly comes out warm. The water then gets hotter before it gets colder. I have not timed to see how long it takes for it to actually get cold. This only happens in my kitchen faucet, no other faucet in the house does this. It has only started to happen over the past month or so. I have spepartate hot and cold shut off valves and they are not reversed under the sink. The hot water still comes out hot. What is going on?
