We have an older Hotpoint oven at our cabin...I don't know the model but it has one burner with a "SenseOMatic" heat control...if that helps anyone...The problem is that one of the other small burners has a wire that connects to the ceramic "element holder" that is broken...to the point that my sister had tried to use that burner this weekend and it sparked on her...not good...So what type/size wire do I use to fix it?...Do I need to replace the ceramic as well?...I assume I can't use regular 12 gauge because the insulation would melt...

thanks
Doug
