The water heater is an Atwood gas/electric model 93755 models 4e and 10 e
Check the AC heating element to be sure that isn't burned out. On the front below the burner tube and under that black cap with the 3 screws. You need a small digital multimeter so you can ohm it out. Should read about 11 ohms. Turn the AC power off first and disconnect the leads first. Takes a very thin socket to get that out. I had one made for my own shop. Let me know what you find and we can go from there. All follow ups are included in our fee. No time limit.

I've already replaced the heating element so it's brand new
O.K........you didn't mention that. Start at the service breaker and follow the voltage. Not that many things it can be here.
Just checking back in to see if you were able to track down the problem here or do you still need some assistance and input from me here?
