What to do when the Water Heater goes out?????

Yes, ours went out this week end. Long story short, I turned on the electric (and) the gas with no water in the tank. I'm 100% positive the electric element is fried, and it won't fire on gas any more...

:S Wow, I would have never thought of that.

As stated earlier, I think all the big box sores like Lowes carry an elcheapo socket to fit those heating elements.

i would ohm out the heating element first to see if it is truly fried. I looked up a youtube on the how to when mine was on the fritz.
