electric burner won't work. 35 y/o GE range, ceramic 'socket'

I tested it with a circuit tester and it was getting power, but the burner element (pretty new) won't get warm. I noticed when I looked closely at the left side of the ceramic socket, the metallic parts that 'grip' the lead for the burner element seemed to be spread extra wide..meaning they wouldn't grip the lead very well. I also noticed the burner's lead that fits into that side of the ceramic socket was sort of fried looking, I know the part isn't called a socket and is some sort of 'box' but I'm wondering how much of it would have to be replaced...or even better, that I could repair it. This might be replaced very soon so I don't want to spend anything on it that I don't have to. I have the model number but I can't find it now. None of the on line web pages seem to have its model number. Worst case, you might be able to swap the defective receptacle with one from a back burner that's seldom used. It's really rare for all four burners to be in simultaneous use. |
