Under the handle is a hot limit stop it probably needs to be adjusted properly.

Sounds like one of two things: the pressure balance spool valve is stuck, or there is some debris caught in the hot inlet. If there's an in-line stop valve, it could be closed. How old is the house? Could there be some galvanized pipes in there that are all clogged up with rust?
