No Hot Water getting to washing machine

Author: JCJones (TX)

We noticed that the water was staying really cold in the washing machine as we did the laundry today. I checked the valves on the wall behind the washer to make sure someone hadn't turned them off... they were fine. We had hot water everywhere else in the house too. I was really confused. The water was fine when I washed just the other day. When I start filling the washer with water and turn the "cold supply" and "hot supply" valves off and then back on I noticed that nothing is coming out of the left side hose whether it is on or off. What would cause that and how can I fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Author: pipedream69 (SD) Clean the screen in the hot water inlet to the washer. Hose may have one also, and washer should have one pressed into the inlet fitting.
