The connector to the device has two round as I recall "hollow" contacts (Socket type) With the tank cold they should show power as well
NOTE, test this carefully
Run down
No power to outlet.. Well it don't work w/o 120vac,, Find out why
No contenunity in element.. need new element,,, odds are that is NOT your problem less you ran it dry.
No power at element connector.. Bad T-Stat-Bad cord-Bad plug.
T-Stat is suspect #1
