    Have you verified you have not blown a fuse or threw a breaker? Check the elements and thermostats

    Shut the power off to unit. Open the top and bottom access. Remove one wire from each element and test for continuity with a mulimeter set to continuity. If none the element is bad. Also if unit is old, you could have a lot of setiment built up in unit
