Here's a pic of the check valve.
You won't necessary be able to see it as it will be screwed into the WH and have the water line connected,
If you look at the end of the check valve in the picture you will see the insert that may be blocked causing all your problems. It's my understanding that you can either pull out the guts of the valve or drill though the fitting.
Of course this will destroy the valve but I really think this is your problem. This is assuming that your bypass valve is set up and working correctly.
You should also have a way to access the back of the WH....A fake panel or removing a drawer perhaps.
Best of luck and keep us posted
