If the heating element burns out, the heater doesn't provide any heat. I've never heard of a dead short to the block.......but, if it happened, the current draw would trip the breaker in the 115V supply.

If the heater works, you'll hear a very subtle "fizzing" sound if you get down close to the heater.
