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...

It shouldn't come off too easily, if the connector is sound
then a *gentle* squeeze with pliers should ensure it grips
better. Otherwise replace it.
