Is the cylinder overflowing on the roof. After work like this dirt/grit gets in the system and lodges under the ajax valve washer causing it to not shut off fully and resulting in cold water. Just one option there are more but check this out first.

It could, but check the switch/fuse/circuit breaker first.

If the water was turned off at gate for replacement , dirt/grit could have got get into the Ajax valve in the past and now will slowly emptied your system of water thus burning out your element if the power was not switched off first. Were you advised to turn off the water heater prior to work commencing .?

touch the pipe coming out of the cylinder with the water running. If this is hot then it will be the Tempering Valve. The thermostat may have also blown earlier on and causing the element to overheat and burn out.
