The lower element on my sears water heater is not working -- it looks
as if one of the wires has melted. I'd like to replace it but im
wondering how difficult it is to do. Can anyone let me know?

Also, i have a upper element part but not a lower. Are these
interchangable or do i need to buy a lower element.

thanks for any help.

They are not difficult at all to replace. Just make sure you have the power
turned off first. And you will have to drain the tank on some models. Might
not be bad to just go ahead and drain yours. I do not think they are
interchangeable.
