Replaced it. The complication was that as I gently pulled the element out of the back of the stove one of the wires did not come with it. So I had to pull out the range unit to take off the back. The 2nd complication was that it was a Jenn Air and the fan vents through the floor, so in order to do that I had to disconnect the ductwork under the range. It was probably a good thing that I had to pull it out as it gave me a chance to do a major clean-up back there.
