The "element on" light comes on but it doesn't heat up. I removed the burner and checked the element for continuity and it seems to be okay. All of the other burners are working just fine. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Apparently there was a loose connection, because all of the elements are working correctly now. Glad I tested the continuity and the infinite switch before replacing the $120 element. :D
