Maybe the element itself is broken? Probably a stone chip or similar?
Should be possible to measure the resistance through the element with a multimeter. If it lets current pass through, the element should be alright.

Most probably the element,seem a common problem on these and they are advancing in years,maybe a stonechip has broken the element some place?
Need a multimeter to check the resistance througth the heating element to prove it.
