More than likely tripped the high temp switch. This is made as part of the upper thermostat, replace the thermostat and it should start making hot water.

If you turned the electric off before draining, Air gets into the system. It will sound funny untill all the trapped air gets "washed" out of the system. If the electric was left on when refilled, you may have a steam generating situation, causing the chugging.
Immediate danger! You have a gas leak. Propane is heavier than air and will settle on the floor. The floor can be covered and ignite and you will not smell it while standing or sitting or laying in bed. Absolutely open the door and leave trailer. Turn off the gas to the heater if the shut-off is outside. Possibly you have a bad gas control valve. This should be repaired professionally.
try by draining tank. it may have sediment build up in it. heres how. go to www.ehow.com/how_5544402_drain-hot-water-tank.html this site will explain it better. have a good day!
Sediment can drift into recirculation lines, jam open check valves, and cause the recirc pump to stick until it burns out. it causes noise, sometimes enough noise to annoy, or even frighten, people if the tank is inside a dwelling. The noise is caused by small amounts of water under the sediment layer turning to steam bubbles, which then collapse violently.
The top element only comes on when the heater is about out of water. The water is directed to the bottom of the tank. Cold water stays on bottom, Bottom heater element heats water. If you use all that water then the top of the tank gets cold and the top element comes. When the top of the tank is warm, then the bottom element comes on. I would susupect the bottom element as it does most of the work. If you have an ohm meter, turn off electric, and remove wires from element. Check element for continuity. If you don't get reading, then that element is bad.
From what you are saying it sounds like an issue with either a circulator pump or a zone valve. It depends on what type of system you have ... if you have a circulator pump that only runs the Amtrol then that is probably bad. If you have a zone valve system then it is probably the zone valve if you still have heat for the rest of the house. If you have no space heating then it is probably the circulator pump.
the low voltage may cause the unit to over heat when you dont have enough volts the amps go up .i have also seen units that are working fine dribble water due to expansion of water when heated
you probibly ran the hot water tank out of hot water shut off the hot water comming out of your fausets for a few hours and check it again u could also try to reset your tank by pulling off the front cover and hitting the reset button and my last thought is sadly you burnt out your heating elements and they need to be replaced good luck man
