My atwood water heaterwas turned on for about 12 hours without any water in it. I let it cool down for about a day and filled it with water, and turned the electric back on, no hot water. I hit the reset on the back of the heater, still no hot water. Im guessing I killed the element??? I will crawl in there tomw and test it

you let the electric element run for about 11hours and 59 minutes to long with no water. the electric elements go FAST if they aren't in water.

gas will probably still work since the electric element probably didn't last long enough to heat the tank up much
