Sorry I’m new to this forum. We are on electric. Yes WH is hot but no water coming out on hot. Shower has none either. Bathroom sink none either.
Thank you.

Ok we will check that today. Thank you.Old-Biscuit. Water is hot but does not flow from any faucet or shower. Not even s trickle.

Ok so just now bathroom sink and bathroom shower worked with both hot and cold. But as soon as we ran the kitchen sink it stopped again.
Thanks in advance.

Check valve WH Tank Hot outlet has failed

Thank you all!!! We got it fixed. It was the “check valve” it was corroded and broke. We decided to not replace as was suggested in other forums.
We have hot water again🤗 thank you thank you thank you
