Got a new washing machine and only accepts cold water, old fitting include hot, the hot water valve is faulty, turned water off in flat at stopcock, should be ok right, wrong hot water comes via combi boiler that doesnt seem to be supplied from stopcock, at a loss nearly flooded myself. Any help much appreciated

Thanks everyone for the advice, all sorted, as you all said, water left in pipe, pressure making it seem worse than what it is, valve wasnt faulty but blunt capped it anyway just in case! Currys fitting package never again, now on to fight for money back! New washing machine fitted - happy me!
Thanks again 😀
