Are you sure the curcuit breaker is okay. Once in awhile under a no load condition they will show line voltage, but as soon as you apply a load the voltage drops away. Did you also make sure all the air was out of the top of the tank before you applied the power to the unit.

Check The thermostat If It Has 2 elements Make Sure top 1 comes on First.

There is a device on the heater that looks like a square box with a red button in the middle. This device usually trips when the elements go bad. It may just need to have the button pushed to reset or may need replacement.

Did you fill the tank by opening the supply line and return line? Did you check the breaker to see if it is on? Is the heating elements the right kind for the tank?

Is there a big lime build up on the bottom of the tank... YOU might have to take a coat hanger and pull all the lime out.....

Break down and buy a new one. More money now, or a lot more later, your choice.

assuming you wired it right, make sure you have 220volts.
