It's no big deal replacing the 220v element. Just make sure the power is OFF, unscrew the element using the $8 element socket tool which fits perfect, remove the old element, PRESS A BLACK RUBBER STOPPER, correct size, into the hole to plug up the water, and take old burnt-out element to hardware store to match it with a new $15 element.
About one quart water pours out fast while unscrewing the old element, so's you cover the floor with old towels.
Both Heath's and Aubuchon have a selection of black rubber stoppers for about $2, and you want about a 1 1/2" wide tapered stopper that gets pressed into the opening while's you drive to the store to find that correct replacement, heating element.
