I am a short time owner here so... Late last season i was checking the anode rod/drained the system and I saw the black on/off switch. Turned it on with no water in the tank, and everything I read tells me I fried the element. Got a new element, but cannot for the life of me get the old dead one out. I have all the recommended tools and tried copious amounts of PB blaster. All I can think of is to call a plumber or replace the entire H2O heater. Any suggestions/ideas? Thanks.
