Default Help, washing machine hot water valve faulty

These are usually gate valves, mine is I'd seems pretty good. However if you
still have the old hose can you not screw that back on and put a pair of
mole grips to pinch off the flow while you get somebody to trace the flow
and then finally fit a new valve once the pressure is off.

If it *is* combi boiler then hot water should be supplied from cold
stopcock, presumably you have no hot water tank?

If you turn on a different hot tap what do you get from there?



Hiya

No hot water tank all goes through combi boiler, it seems as if hot water to
machine comes straight from there. Looks like I will need to stop water in
the whole block, unless I can isolate the water going to machine, when I
isolate the water in the flat via stopcock in cupboard I don't get any water
from hot or cold tap but water is still gushing out of pipe at washing
machine if I try to disconnect - sorry new home and new to this
Thanks
