The pot was pulled off the element and the fuel burnt itself out. Now the left rear element does not work. The coil itself is OK as I tried it on the right front. Could the receptacle be damaged by a fire? It is I believe it is the Whirlpool part AP3075808. thank you for your attention.

The wiring between it and its switch might also need checking. Quote: Is there a fusable link inside it? No, there are no fuses for the surface elements.
