From your description it does sound like a stuck check valve. The check valve should be on the hot water outlet high up. Cold water normally enters lower down.
If you decide to eliminate the check valve as Larry suggests, install a manual shutoff so the water heater doesn't fill with antifreeze when winterizing.
