Sorry to come here and post a question as a first post but I'm in a bit of a situation...
I was attempting to repair an instant hot water dispenser as it wasn't working. I opened the little hatch on the unit and adjusted the thermostat and hit the reset button as it said to do on the website - nothing happened. I wasn't going to do anything more with that and just call to have it serviced, but for some reason I thought I'd try and turn the valves on the water line off and on again just to make sure I had tried everything. I did and it still didn't work. Then I turned on the regular sink faucet to wash my hands and was a bit surprised that the water flow was down to a drizzle.
I checked and made sure the little oval shaped handles/ knobs were pointing up completely (as they were before I messed with them), and turned them all the way off and then on again, but it's the same story. I've left the sink running for now hoping it'll start flowing again and that there's just air in the line or something but I'm not real sure what to do... Just in a bit of a spot given that it's the kitchen sink and the dishwasher is connected to the same water line
Did I just make myself a huge expensive problem or am I overlooking something? And sorry this is such an unprofessional question, I should have known better than to try and mess with this stuff on my own...
