The reset switch works like a thermostatic breaker and although unusual, it is possible the reset switch is bad or weak. You can replace the reset but some are hard to find. It may be easier to replace the upper thermostat with reset. I would also suggest that you check with the vender you purchased it from, and relay your story to them as they may be willing to help you with the parts. I hope this helps.

Replace both thermostats and test both elements.

Problem has to be bad element or bad thermostat.
Test elements for short to ground through metal tank wall:

Make sure factory-installed insulation and cover are re-installed over new thermostats so they do not misread tank temperature.
If problem does not show with elements, then replace thermostats again.
