Found the problem - gremlins. Started the generator so wife could cook dinner. When I returned to shore power, wife noticed burner still on. I didn't do anything but go to generator power and back to shore power. Elements now working. It has to be something I'm doing during the switch-over. Will pay close attention in the future and try to figure it out. Doesn't make sense - I know. Don't know what else to do.
