Thanks for the update. A bad thermostat seems likely.
In case you don't know the sequence, here's how the two thermostats work: When the heater is stone cold, only the top element is on. Once the top thermostat gets to its set point, it shuts off the top element and supplies power to the lower thermostat. The lower element then comes on until the bottom thermostat gets to its set point and shuts off the bottom element.
Once all the water in the tank is up to temperature, only the bottom element operates, unless enough water is drawn from the tank to cool the top thermostat below its set point. When that happens (say you run a load of laundry followed by a long shower), the sequence above starts over.
Both thermostats should be set to about the same temperature, by the way.
