Atwood 10 Gal. Water heater

I have a 2012 Cruiser Provincial 335SS with an Atwood 10 Gal gas/electric water heater.
The gas side works just fine, but the electric function does not. I have checked the element for continuity, and it is fine, but there is no power getting to the element. All my connections have been checked including the Thermostat.
The water heater has never been operated without water in the tank and I have never had a problem before now.
Anybody had this problem or have any ideas on what I may have missed?

Maybe the element burned out.

You can test the element with the ohms function or a continuity setting. First, make sure the heating element is OFF. Most of them plug into a 110v outlet right in back of the heater. Unplug the heating element. You can then test the element with the ohm scale or continunity setting. You should have a reading or show continuity when putting the meter on the two terminals on the element. The other thing to test is the thermostat mounted to the back of the heater. Again, when the heater is cold, you should read continuity across it. The thermostat turns the element on and off as needed. If you read "0" ohms or no conunity across the element it's bad.

Check 120VAC circuit breaker. Also switch at fireplace if you have one. Switch allows either fireplace or water heater, not both

That model does not, I believe, have a switch for fireplace or water heater. At least my '13 model does not have one.

X2, I can use both at the same time.
