I'm trying to wire up a new hot water heater. I ran the wires to the breaker panel, but it's not heating. I'm getting 120V on each of the hot wires, but if I put my multimeter from one hot to the other, instead of 240V I'm only getting 1 volt.

I traced it back to the breaker, and tried replacing the circuit breaker, but get the same thing. I get 240V on the two hot wires coming in from outside so 240 is definitely coming into the box. Pic related is the different voltage readings different places in the box (the new looking breaker on the left side is my breaker).
