The continuity test can be misleading. If the element is in the right position it will melt in such a way as to make an 'almost' short circuit. It happened to me a few years back. I always carry the tools to change it, and a spare element.

It only takes a minute to remove it. I never use Teflon tape on it because it comes with an o-ring, and it may require a good ground. You should only use tape on the anode rod.
