Very erratic and you never know when it will suddenly stay on high - there has been a few burnt grilled cheeses. Very difficult to research online, but the best lead I have is that there is an element with a limiter under there that may need to be replaced. Any help here?

Either Item 5 or 6 in Section 2. Not sure which one, it depends on the element type.
