Before you replace anything, on the outside of the water heater, there is a black plastic cover that has two round rubber covers. These cover the thermostat high temp reset buttons, one for the gas side, 12 volt, and the other is the 120 volt side. Press both of these buttons through the rubber covers and see if the water heater works. If it still doesn't and you are sure there is power to the element, you will need the element, Suburban #520900, http://www.dyersonline.com/suburban-...n-element.html , along with the socket http://www.dyersonline.com/camco-scr...nt-wrench.html . Then, making sure every switch going to the water heater is turned off and the unit has cooled, you will need to drain the water from it by removing the anode. You might also need to remove some other parts to access the element, but once that is done, using the wrench/socket and a screwdriver, remove the element and then install the new one with the new gasket, and do not over tighten, and then reconnect the leads and install everything that you removed. BEFORE turning power back on, make sure you have filled the water heater tank with water so water comes out of the faucets inside. Only then turn on the switches to the water heater. You should now have water heating with electric.
