No plug in I am aware of. Its all hard wired. And I am connected to a 50amp service. I have power to everything.

I'm no expert but they way I would approach this is to first hook up to city water, make sure your Nautilus control panel is set to city water settings, and (with the water heater off-no hot water in tank) gently open the pressure relief valve, or remove the drain plug to make sure you have water pressure into the tank.

Do not remove the drain plug when the tank is under pressure. The plug will become a projectile.

Well, I've done it inadvertently and while it does jump a bit, and create a bit of a mess, "become a projectile" may be overstating it a bit.

Are you sure about that?

If there is a plug in connection it is not obvious. Searched high and low. Also searched wiring diagrams with no luck. A

Yes, I did give incorrect advice. My bad. I was absent minded thinking removing the plug before turning on the water and checking the flow that way. I have also removed the plug under pressure and I'm not sure I'd describe it as a projectile, but you will get wet!

All in all using the pressure relief valve is the easy check.

Ok bad choice of words. I personally don’t think it is a good idea to remove the plug to a water heater while it is under pressure.

Saw this out on the Facebook. Perhaps something else to try:
"Common issue, if quit on electric and propane: turn off water heater, remove thermal fuse from water heater. Connect brown wire directly to water heater. Turn on water heater. If working thermal fuse is bad."
