Re: Fixing a laboratory waterbath
One thing that can happen with heating elements is they can short to ground when they heat up, the internal element expands and in some cases breaks through the insulation and shorts. This can burn a hole in the element but not always. You can try insulating the element from ground and disconnect its ground wire if it has one to test this.
