1. ALWAYS open the Pop Off valve to determine hot water production.
2. That model number IS correct? Does NOT have EXT on the model number?
3. Usually on this type OEM install, there is a metal flat plate either on the bottom of the Galvinized W/H box or on the back side where you see edge lines. They sometimes spray undercoating and that hides the panel edges and the screws holding that panel
4. IF they have no access panels, then they have enough extra slack on the Cold and Hot Water lines including the LP line. So, you can pull the water heater out and disconnect for repair or replacement. They HAVE to! They could not install without that excess slack.
5. IF they have a check valve on the Hot water exit fitting on the tank, you would get NO water or you would get diminished flow but would have hot water out that red drain line next to the water heater compartment. IF THE CHECK VALVE WAS THE PROBLEM. Doug
