Is it blowing cold air, or no air?

There are two possibilities, and only two. These are:

  1. Hot water isn't flowing through the heater. You can figure that out pretty easily by feeling pipes to/from the heater core as close as you can get to it
  2. Air is not flowing through the heater core. This is controlled by a damper that's hooked to the hot/cold control. The damper may be unhooked. That's a little harder to figure out.
