Buy a heater continuity tester. $9.00 at home depot. Turn off breaker to hot water heater. test both elements, though i'd start with the top one first it's usually the one that goes bad. drain water before removing element that's burnt out. I open the pressure relief valve to speed that up. replace with like element same volts and watts is important.
