No Hot Water Pressure

[Mattbowen]

Hey All, thanks in advance for any assistance. I have a 377RLBH and have lost all hot water pressure. Cold water pressure is good, but when I switch to hot, nothing. Any suggestions? I don't recall changing any valve settings, but that may be a factor. Thanks again -

Bad check valve on the water heater?

Thank you Earl, I will check that out.

+1 on the check valve! I had the same issue - hot water was a trickle. Pulled the CV and all is good. I'll need to put in a new one before I winterize or I'll have a tankful of antifreeze.

When did you use the hot water last?

[Mattbowen]

It stopped working last fall/winter. Been making due since but definitely missing hot water!

Bypass valve may be bad. They're just plastic ball valves and I've had them go bad on me. The handle turns, but the ball valve inside doesn't.

Thank you TWP!

Where are you at with this? There's another post I commented on where I fixed this by simply draining the HWT and charging the system on the city water selection... opening my hot valves until all air was out and prolly putting it back to dry camp and it working like a champ.

Do not open your pressure valve on the HWT while filling.

Give that a try.

CamperDude, thanks for your input. My 5W is on a hunting lease and I won't be about to troubleshoot for a 4 to 6 weeks when I am back onsite. I'll reply back with final resolution at that time. I appreciate your input!
