Question about Suburban SW6DE water heater...
My neighbor has this water heater and can't get it to work. It's a new trailer for her, on line info says it works on both gas and electric but looked in literally every nook and cranny in her trailer...

Thanks all! Ok, update -- we found the water heater button inside and that's the "gas on" button. It turns red when pressed. And yes, it's by the other water buttons between the range and the kitchen sink and labeled "HTR" but it didn't look like the buttons in the manual. We should have looked more closely. Anyway...the water is heating up.
*Now* we are trying to figure out why it won't run on electric. The breaker and outside switch on the heater itself were both on for hours and the water didn't heat up. Any ideas about that? There is water in the tank. We don't know if at any point there was no water in the tank while the WH was turned on but I do have a multimeter. Can you walk me through how to test the element? Thanks sooo much. :) (UPDATE: Disregard. I found a youtube video. Thanks so much for the link to the right element!
