Default water heater problem

After using only a little water for a bath, the water became only luke
warm. I checked the circuit breaker, it was OK. With the breaker
off, I put an ohm meter on each element. One showed 11.9 ohms, the
other 12.9. I turned the thermostats up from 130-135 to 150 and now
the water is hot. Could one of the elements be burned out, if they
are showing about 12 ohms of resistance?
