You'll want to replace that bad coil. Most small appliance repairshops
and the better stocked hardware stores will carry heater coil element.

Ordinary wire may work for a very short while but is likely to burn up
and could cause a fire hazard.

Ordinary wire won't work at all. That is VERY dangerous - you'll have molten
copper all over the place.
