The best bet is to call an electrician in the phone book.

That assumes that someone still has a phone book from 2006.

Did you perchance miss the date of the request?
 
It was 15+ years ago.

Appliance repairman would be more apropos, but... there's often shortage of
factory-stock items that DO go bad with age. An 'authorized' repairman can't
always use non-factory items.
 
So, you can replace the last inch or two of wire with new high-temp wire
(or just fiberglas spaghetti over a bare wire), and you can make the
element connection with something other than a crimp.
I like silver solder (jewelry-making supplies, it only takes a few milligrams
of Ag alloy) with appropriate (solder salts) flux and a propane torch.
Lap the wire and electrode, wrap with a thin copper strand to hold it,
flux, crimp a silver bit onto it, and get it redhot.
 
Spot-welding works, too, when the temperature doesn't serve crimps well,
but most of us don't have that apparatus handy.

Another idiot google groups user replying to a posting that is 15 years
old.
 
Do you really think this person is still waiting for your answer after
15 years?

Haha... in all seriousness, I have been burned by enough people online,
that I do use a phone book when looking for a contractor. I've chalked
up anyone that doesn't advertise in the yellow pages as anywhere from
inferior to total scam artist at this point.

There is something on the internet called Next Door Neighbor. Just a
big bullliten board where you can post most anything. I have asked on
there for several contractors and plumbers and painters. So far every
one people on there recommend have been execellent.
Most people like the painter does not not need to advertise as they stay
busy by word of mouth. Took me 2 months before I could get a painter as
he was that far behind. Same with a concrete company to pour a pad for
a garage. Once they got started they were here every day on time wether
permitting.
