By all means buy a new one but fixing these things is often simple.
As an example, several years ago one hob ring on my mum's standalone
electric cooker stopped working. Swapping elements over did not fix the
problem so I took the back off the thing. Hey presto, there was a
dessicated mouse stradling the L&N terminal on the wiring for the problem
element. Remove mouse and current flows throught the element again.
Other problems fixed over the years are due to heat causing insulation
problems. Soon fixed with a bit of heat shrink or heat resistant paste.
