If no water is flowing through your heater then a major air block could be the cause. I had a Carver Heater and no water would flow through it. I change the return valve, no change, so I decided that if the carver heater needs replacing then a kill or cure solution was required.
I attached a hose to the outlet and sent the hose outside. I next got another hose and attached this to the inlet and the other to my house water tap. Next I got my nervous wife to turn the water on slowly ready to switch it off if I yelled!!. Bubbling, clanging and banging was heard until finally water escaped out the outlet pipe, I got my wife to turn the water flow down until all the air was expelled and water was seen at the outlet pipe even with a low flow of water from the water pipe. My heater was then reconnected and has worked well ever since. Been a year so far. Hope this help, and it saved me a few bob too. If this method does not work then a new heater will be required.
