my guess is the "back preventer valve" in the tank outlet is seized closed thus not allowing any hot out. You can test the "theory" a bit by first putting water in the tank ... check this by opening the pressure release valve. IF water is flowing out then it means you have "some in there". Next, start the water heater and let it heat for a bit... not too long but long enough for you to eventually feel the water temperature with your hand... cause that's next check. Once you have let it heat for say 15 minutes, cautiously open the pressure relief valve again.... be careful and observant... is the water coming out warm? This will at least determine if your heater is functional in terms of heating. Do not run the unit if there is no water in it as this may burn out the element. Once you get this far, you can then focus on the tank outlet and go from there.
