I don't know if there may be a small "break" or "burn" (maybe plural) in the heating element, but can it be replaced?
I really think it will be using my non-stick on the stove until I can finally break down and buy new... Yes, the tray is well-beaten hopelessly caked with a decade of grease, but this is laying there from the attempted use, where the temperature in the gauge just went "down, down, DOOWWWWNNNN!"... -- Dave |

Yes, as I opened this, I found these wires are crimped on, but easily came unattached:
There are three screws around where the temperature read out is, but I'm unable to get any of them off... -- Dave |

It looks like the wires where they attach to the element suffered from corrosion, loose connection, and oxidation. If you carefully clean the terminals on the element, and replace the wire ends, you may be able to fix it. |

While one lead was easily crimped back on, the wire for the other got too frayed...
I think I may not have gently handled it, cleaning it off, or in the crimping, I'd failed to handle with a little bit more finesse... -- Dave
