No water

All was well last fall before i winterized. Now i have good water to main sink cold only, no water from hot faucet. No water from either side in bath sink or tub. Had lots of air and some water from all to begin with. Water heater has water from vent when open, so it would seem that is full. No water leaks underneath.
What did i do?
Thanks

    It's a valve, not a switch.

  • Sounds like the check valve coming off the water heater has failed. Depending on location, it is a simple fix. Happened to us, but luckily it was summer and the water in the tank was pretty warm.
