If you can get your hands on a multi tester to check power at your element I can walk you through trouble shooting the unit. Basically if you have power at the element and it is not hot you need to replace the element. If yo do not have power check for any breaks in the wires. If they are all good you need a thermostat. The element will be a PV311 and the thermostat will be a PA300. Feel free to give me or Bill a call if you would like assistance.
