Microwave part 1

I mentioned to someone the other day that we've had lots of different microwaves, had them break down. Well the other night it didn't break but its one of those with a built in grill. I put a drink in to warm it up and it melted the plastic cup. The heating element has a crack in it, it must be shorting or something like that. The earth connector seems to be causing it, the glass or ceramic of the element is shorting. I've managed to disconnect it so it doesn't come on all the time.

It's a daewoo but i can't find the part I need. Hopefully i'll be able to find a suitable replacement somewhere. The grill is handy for crisping the tops of pies. It came with one of those metal racks to stand the pies on. If they are too far away it doesn't do anything.
