Regarding the likelihood of the element being faulty, it's at least equally likely to be the thermostat. See if the thermostat clicks when you rotate the dial. If it does, then remove the cover, taking care with the live terminals, and test whether or not the live supply emerges from the other side of the 'stat. Thermostat replacement is incredibly cheap and easy, but don't forget to turn off the electrical supply first.
