The problem is likely due to 1 of 3 issues:
1. The element is burned out because somebody turned it on with no water in the tank
2. A bad relay - my heater has a small plastic box that contains a relay that receives a signal from the circuit board that turns on the heating element. When you switch the electric water heater on, you should be able to hear the relay click. https://www.amazon.com/Atwood-93849-Relay/dp/B004QMXTHE
2. A bad circuit board - If it is not the relay or the element, it is probably the board. I replaced mine with a Dinosaur board, which comes with a 3 year warranty. http://www.dinosaurelectronics.com/
Good Luck
