Well how about the cord, ? may be a safty switch has stuck, preventing it from comming on. Try thumpping the sides a few times stomp it on the floor. Not real hard just enough to jolt it a bit. this may free up a stickie switch in side.This has worked for me. DFD

The problem sounds like the thermostat which is probably a bimetal strip. It sounds like the bimetal strip is just constantly bending one direction then the other. It could be possibly adjusted by bending it -- this would be a trial and error process.
Or, it could be replaced.

On the top of the switch (inside the heater) there is a common connection.....even though it looks as if it is connected (electrically), it isn't electrically affected by the switch; it's just used as a post. It's just the place where the striped wire connects to the "common" point for the heater coils (they are in a parallel). Also, while you're in there you might want to put some electrical grease on the exposed conductors.....mine had quite a bit of corrosion (which was the reason for the failure). I had to replace 3 of the female connectors.
yes
as the elements are in parallel
have an appliance shop replace the faulty element
