Check the elements for amp draw. Measure the amps with a clamp type ammeter. Assuming you have 240 volts and a 4500 watt element, you should have around 18 amps when the element is working properly.
P.S. did you press the reset button on the upper thermostat?

If it is 230/240 volts you need to make sure you have both legs working. You can ohm out the element to see if it has continuity but if it is shorted to the element casing ,you will get a false reading. Best I can do with the info given.

If you have poser to your heating elements themselves and the water is still not heating that is a good sign the heating element is bad.
You will need to turn the power off disconnect the heating element and check it with a DMM.
