My HW heater has a small reset button where the wires connect to the heating element. When using the gas it heats the water a lot hotter than the electric and it will trip the safety switch. Every time I use the gas I have to take the small cover off and hit the reset before it will work on electric. I don't know if that is your problem but I would sure check.
Mine has this switch also. My hot water heater will work on electric for a couple of hours and then stop. It always pops the reset switch. It does heat up on electric so I know the element is working. I just don't know why it keeps resetting. Works fine on gas.
