Terri, The issue could be either a faulty element or a faulty switch. You could access the switch and test from H1 to H2 on the switch with the switch in the on position. There should be 240 vac and if there is not then replace the switch, if there is then the element would be the issue.

If there is not 240 vac then the switch is faulty and if there is 240 vac then the element would be the issue.
