I would check the wiring to the element, especial the heat probe sensor,

Good instructional videos and diagrams. Just click on the parts.

At the beginning, and at 4:18 of the video he explains that a burn't connection can stop the element from working and shows you the wiring from the back. Inspect all your wires.

You violated the procedure for repairing an appliance or device which is why it does not work. The proper procedure is to TEST FIRST and then change out a part or repair the wiring. You most likely took out a perfectly good element by trying to fix something by "parts-changing." This only works very well with light bulbs. Here are some manuals to help you, but you need to go to Home Depot and get a good meter: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8010163/Electrical%20Theory%20and%20Diagnosis%20of%20Major %20Appliances%20Service%20Manual.pdf

You did not say what kind of range you have, so I have no way of giving you a manual. That number could apply to anything. It means nothing without the brand and name of the appliance.

As usual absolutely correct.
