Electric water heater issue

I have a 2009 (40 gallon) GE water heater that is not heating the water.

I replaced both upper and lower elements and thermostats and still no hot water.

The elements I removed looked OK as did the thermostats, although I didn't bench test them.

I have water coming out my hot water side of the faucet but it's not even warm. The output pipe on top of the water heater isn't either.

I do have power to both upper and lower elements.

This is a head scratcher for me at this point.

I'm not opposed to getting a new water heater but would feel better know why my old one is not working first.

Appreciate any suggestions/input.

The elements were both the same rating as my heater 240v - 4500w. They and the thermostats came in a kit by Everbilt.
