A common problem with electric water heater failure is that the elements burn out. But how do you check to see if indeed this is the problem? Well to determine if it has failed, you can go to your nearest faucet and turn on the hot water. If the water is only warm, but never gets hot, it is likely that the top heating element is defective. However, if the water starts out hot and quickly gets cold, the bottom element has likely bit the dust.
