Appears to be in otherwise good shape. Is this worth fixing? Is there a diagnostic for this and an easy fix I can do or have done? I don't use it as I am afraid it will burn itself up.

They say it can be 1 hour and 37 minutes and then you have you add the water heat up time to this. Perhaps test the water temperature. It should be at least 120 degrees F. Measure it at the tap if the unit is close to the sink. If it takes a while to get the water hot at the sink/dishwasher some folks have to runthe hot watyer before starting a wash.

If both elements were not working you probably would have noticed the water getting cold sooner and taking much longer to heat up. I would get a thermometer you can trust and re-try measuring the water temperature at the tap.
