No hot water through hot faucets in 2017 Reflection 297RSTS
Hi all, I saw some posts on the Nautilus P1, but didn't see anything on this yet. It is cold, so frozen somewhere I'm not finding is a possibility, but I have water coming from cold faucets fine. I've had hot water heater on since yesterday afternoon, heat on in the RV (Reflection 297RSTS) and a portable heater blowing under the dresser after removing the drawers that is the access to the back of the Atwood hot water heater. Relieved pressure in the unit outside several times (just blew a little water and then stopped).
I called Atwood who confirmed it wasn't the hot water unit itself, it is hot and seems to be functioning. They referred me to Grand Design and they said that it was a valve in the Nautilus P1. I get no water set to regular city water setting from the hot faucets. I turn the red hot water tank bypass valve and I was told by B and B Molders (they make the Nautilus units) that it should bypass the hot water tank and get cold water from the hot water faucets and the outdoor shower. I get cold water from the hot water faucets inside and on the outside shower as they said I should. But, once I close the red valve to get water flowing back to the hot water tank, no water hot or otherwise from the indoor or outside shower faucets. Any other places I should look or things I should check? Could it be frozen in a line behind the Nautilus to the hot water heater input port? If so, any ideas on how I can get to that to more directly apply heat?

There is a check valve on the outlet of the water heater. These have been known to get plugged or stick closed. See this related post. https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...er+check+valve. There are also other threads that can be found by entering key words in the search tool in the upper right corner.

I findyour post very interesting as I have a 315RLTS and had the exact same thing happen to ours today. We are camping in KY and it's 17 degrees.
All has worked well untill today when the temp took a big dip.Paul B.

I have a 2018 297RSTS with the same problem described above. How do I access the water heater? I can’t even find it!

On a 297, pull out the drawers under the washer/dryer closet in the bedroom. Then you'll have access to the back of the water heater. Here's a photo I took while running some wires in the space:
To remove the drawers, pull them out as far as they'll go. Then look for small black plastic tabs on the drawer rails. Push one up, and one down and the drawers will come right out.

May not be pertinent but I thought there was another water heater bypass valve in behind the nautilus system close to the water heater. Of course I have a whole different system so I am only making a what if.

Interesting video , I noticed he had the same Atwood water heater I have , Aluminum tank , with the brass check valve? I assume this came from factory with this.
Should be the problem with the OP's question , Also Dallas brought up a good point to make sure the levers on the Nautilus panel are set to the right position.
