We just bought a new water heater and after installation, the heating element is not heating the water. What is the problem? We have 240V at the element.
Make sure tank is completely full of water before turning power ON, or elements will instantly burn out.

The heating element was bad. It's hard to believe that a brand new water heater would have a burn element, but that's the problem. I replace the heating element and its started working properly.
