May get lucky and find some debris from a failed rubber washer.

That's not necessarily true, depends no the brand. Moen and others will send you free parts for life. I think you can also just swap them at Home Depot and the like if they have the part as well. If it's a junk brand I'd just replace it.
Dollars to o-rings you've got some rotten rubber or gasket plugging the hot. That, or detritus from the hot water tank. Removing the cartridge usually isn't too difficult, I'd start there. Get some plumbers grease so you can lube it before re-insertion.
