Slow hot water and slow flush toilet

Tags: Plumbing
The last couple of days 2 plumbing issues arose. The hot water that goes to the basement washing machine barely trickles. The toilet on the main floor bath does a wierd flush - a slow looks like it won't flush then a sudden suction. Coincidence? -but they both started acting up the same day. Any correlation - what are my first steps to figuring out the issues?

As far as the washing machine shut off the water, remove the water hoses on the back of the machine and clean or replace the screens on the hoses.
