I've fixed a few such things:
Suggestion: Make sure your electrical connections to the new
elements are 'good and tight'. Hold the tips in say your big
pliers and tighten the screws with other hand. There's a fairly
heavy current there in a small area and any looseness of the
connection can cause the new connection to heat up and burn off;
thereby possibly ruining a new element. (It's hot enough there
normally with the heat from the oven!)

Hmmm, the electrical connection is a fairly bog standard spade
connector, and it came off very easily. Maybe this is the origin
of the fault...

Use sandpaper or a small file to clean away any corrosion to get
metal to metal contact. Maybe use new screws? Add washers; to
increase contact area? If they are not screw-on connections bur
some form of clips make sure the electrical contact/connections
are clean and good. Good luck, well done btw.

All good advice; it will be put into practice!

Cheers,
