1 breaker and it's seems to be good
2 the thermostat
3 the element
All very simple in most cases if your water heater is easily accessible mine is
The element comes right out where you access the burner
Your unit sounds pretty new could you have a warranty or maybe the books to help aid you in locating the components. I will send pics if you need but it's not hard to do.
The parts are not expensive
