4. Define broken?

Did you actually break the element? Is it just not coming on? In the first case, no...rather cheap. In the second case, it depends why it's not coming on...but usually it's not cheap to fix.

5. I lifted it up.........

and noticed it snapped right through near the back. No, it's not coming on. The broil element comes on still.

Now I know why my oven hasn't been heating up as it should.

11. Probably not...

an element is basically another burner. They break from time to time.
