The power from one pole can show at both screws, so both
being 120 to ground doesn't mean much. My gut sense at this
moment, you may have a bad aquastat, and you're getting
power to both sides of the element from one pole of the
power. Check to see the element is getting 240 VAC. I mean
237, sorry.

Thanks, but does that make sense, that I get power at the
screws?
(118-119 for one pole, 117 for the other, and 237 for both)
