Try checking the heating element itself. Do this by removing it and using an ohm meter to check it for an "open" circuit condition. If the ohm meter reads infinite, then it is likely bad. If the water heater is only slow to heat, a very likely possibility is that you have an excess amount of sediment in the bottom of the tank, insulating the heating element from the water. Back flushing the tank will solve this problem. For more tips, check out the following web site: www.waterheaterrescue.com

Do 240 volt electric baseboard heaters wear out over time?
Yes, over time the heating element can break, wires can break, or the thermostat can become defective. They will however last for years if they are quality made. No electric device lasts forever.
How many watts of electric heaters set on low?
The wattage of electric base board heaters does not change because the thermostat is set on low. The wattage is a fixed value on the heater because of its internal resistance element. The thermostat set on low shuts off at a lower temperature than a thermostat that is set on high. It is the time interval that governs the amount of heat that the heater produces when the thermostat calls for heat. Once the room heats up to the temperature that the thermostat is set at, the heater shuts off. The thermostat is just a temperature switch.
