Hot Water Heater -Smelled Burning Wire

I have read several post here on the forum, but have not found one (yet) that addresses my problem. 2017 Montana 3791RD - I smelled an electrical burning smell under the kitchen hutch cabinet next to the stove. The electric hot water heater had tripped a breaker. It works fine on the propane but not on electric. I have found out that it could be - the switch, heating element, thermostat, or relay. Since I did indeed smell electrical, where should I start to isolate the problem. I called a tech but they want upward of $300 to come out to look at the problem. So, I am going to try and fix it myself.


Any help will be greatly appreciated. We are leaving Florida on Sunday and would like to have it repaired before we leave.



Thank you in advance.
