I do not know of any hot water heaters that will switch themselves on electric. They all have a switch near the water tank outside the unit that must be turned on/off to be powered by electric heat. Maybe it was already on. But, find that switch. It must be off without water in tank.
A simple answer about the propane. Sound like your not getting propane from the tanks. The tanks must be connected completely thru the threads. I have not seated them all the way before and thinking they were. Until turning them on and I found no propane coming out. Also you must turn them on slowly if not the OPD? valve shuts off propane. I would put them back on the bracket. Connect the regulator. Make sure connected correctly. turn on slowly. Try a couple of time if not working.
Than IF you have propane and they are connected right, turned on correctly and still no propane. Maybe the regulator failed. You can go buy a new one and try that. I think before that you might want it checked out by a shop.
