When a water heater appears to be operating normally but produces zero hot water, the problem is usually caused by a broken dip tube on storage tanks, a failed upper heating element on electric units, a closed outlet valve, or a tripped thermal cutoff switch. On tankless units, water flow sensors may have failed to signal the electronic ignition burners. Verification: Test heating element continuity with a multimeter or check valve positions.
