Keystone uses Suburban Water Heaters so electric element is easy to change
Turn 120V AC Circuit Breaker OFF
Turn water supply OFF
Drain water heater....remove anode rod
Remove burner tube for EASY access to element
Remove cover on element
Use voltmeter and verify NO AC
Remove Black & White wires from element terminals
Use a 1 1/2" socket to unscrew element
Suburban uses a 120V AC 1440W element....replace with 1400W from Hardware Store
Another helpful post, with great picture, from Old-Biscuit!! This element issue happens often, and I'm sure many besides the OP, will get the benefit from this post.
