Well..just like your post from 18 months ago you don't state which WH you have
A Suburban or an Atwood
So.....
If Suburban......open outside compartment access door. Remove cover over electric element. Remove element. Replace with new.
If Atwood......access backside of tank. Remove cover over electric element. Remove element. Replace with new
Course you need to turn off ALL power to WH, drain the tank cause water will flow out element hole when removed. Have to disconnect wires on element.
If you are handy, understand electricity etc. it's a DIY
Otherwise......have it done.
