A heating element converts electrical energy into heat through the process of Joule heating. Electric current through the element encounters resistance, resulting in heating of the element. Unlike the Peltier effect, this process is independent of the direction of current.
Like most parts, water heater elements have a finite working life. ... In some cases, mineral sediment collects at the bottom of the water heater tank, encasing the lower element. Forced to work harder, the element eventually fails. You can turn off power to your water heater and drain the tank every few months.
