Theres something blocking your flow of water to your kit. sink. Open faucet and clean. Rubber washers can rot/worn and get clogged in pipe.

Check the screen filter in the faucet. There should be a knurled ring at the end of the faucet, unscrew it to get at this screen. You can replace it, or just get rid of it. If there isn't one, then you'll need to turn off the water at the valves under the sink, if there are any, and disassemble the valves on top of the sink and clean them. If there are no valves under the sink, then you will need to go back to the main supply valve to the home and turn it off to do the repairs. If this is the case, then I would take the extra time to install shut off valves under the sink as well.

it extremely is of course a blockage someplace and the only approach is to initiate out of your preliminary factor of get admission to and artwork you way as much as the faucet. turn off the close off valve to your chilly water, below the sink, do away with the hose or pipe. using a bucket, below the valve, open it up, and notice if the water tension is solid. no count if it extremely is, then the subsequent step is the hose. Disconnect it, and verify its free of any obstructions. Blow by it or run some dowel or coat hanger by it. It the hose is large, then all that maintains to be is your faucet. those are particularly elementary to take aside, once you have the water close off. examine for any dirt or blockage. If the tension is low in the two warm water and chilly water, it is going to likely be someplace interior the faucet. extremely if its a one look after one. solid success.
