Yes this is a fault that can happen, i do NOT think, that it is worth while repairing, when these controllers burn out, it's pretty much totaled. If you must, take it to a reputable service center, and ask for a "Quote" before proceeding with any repair, as repair may exceed the cost of a new one.

Three possibilities come to mind: First, there may be some foreign objects stuck between the sections of the coils where they connect or in their individual holes, the next is that the cord or outlet in your house is getting too hot (the circuit is being overloaded, perhaps; and finally, the clincher, you have a tiny oil leak in the coils themselves.

It is possible that a little safety device inside has opened up, now allowing current to pass on into the heating element.
Are you handy with opening the cover plate, and looking inside for a few possible failed parts?

Often there is a little device that looks like a small glass fuse, (About 1/4" in dia. and a little over an inch long..) but it is more than just a fuse-- It is also a High Temperature limit device-- (It will have the temperature stamped on it, in Celcious) -- If that has opened, -- it will have to be replaced.
Can you check it with a Continuity checker?

Let me know how far you care to go in repairing this device.
