The only thing that comes to mind is that you may have 2 hot water heaters and the one used to heat the bathroom may have went out. Check to see if you have 2 hot water heaters and if you do check the pilot lights to make sure they are lit.


If you do not have 2 hot water heaters I would check all water lines running from the main hot water heater and make sure all shut-off valves are open.NO water coming out of shower or bath tap ( hot)?
Before you install flush all the line or you will plug the new parts%26gt;%26gt;
If you have a single handle (you turn one knob to turn the water on and adjust the temperature)... you may have a bad shower stem.





The stem is the unit right behind the handle, that mixes the hot and cold water together and then lets it proceed to the faucet or shower head.





If you get cold, and then as you dial toward hot the water slows and stops, that's probably it. (If your water heater was out, you'd still get cold water).





Fix:


1) turn off the water from the water heater and main (turn the red/yellow handles on the pipes from parallel to the pipes to 90 degree angle)


2) close the drain and put a towel on the tub floor -- to keep parts from falling down the drain.


3) Using a phillips screwdriver, take the front of the handle off, and work your way back into the wall. Handle, round metal circle against the wall, etc.





You may have a horse-shoe shaped brass clip holding a cartridge (canister about an inch across, brass tube sticking out the front) into the pipe. Hang on to it (I dropped mine behind the wall, and had to buy a new one).





4) Take the cartridge to the home improvement store for a replacement (mine, a Moen, was about $30). Leave the water turned off, or it will spray out that open pipe!





5) Insert the new unit into the pipe the same way you pulled the old one out. Grease it with a little vaseline. The rubber sides need to be on the left and right (not diagonal or top/bottom). Mine bunched up and wrecked the first new unit, so use caution pushing it in.





6) Reverse the take-apart process to replace the horseshoe, put the handles and covers back on. LAST turn on the water and operate the handle. Listen for leaks, and have your helper ready to shut the water back down quickly.





Since the pipe was open, water all thru the house 'settled' so all your faucets will sputter for a minute as the pipes fill back up.
It is very possible that you have a clogged pipe caused by an electromagnetic field created by joining two unlike metals like copper and galvanized steel. If your plumbing is older than 20 years, it could be this.


Check the pipes you can see and see if there are two different metals touching each other. If so, you'll need to remove the blockage and go with another fitting that does not let the metals touch. They are available at most home centers.
