Oven Element problem

We have had trouble with the oven heating element for a little while. Sometimes when we would turn the oven on it would not come on, we would jiggle the element and sometimes it would come on, other times we could just turn it off and back on again for it to come on then last week it came on and then the oven blew the breaker, we reset our breaker and the oven heating element will not come on at all now. The rest of the stove works fine except the heating element and the broiler will not come on either. Any suggestions as to what our problem might be. Would like to repair it but if it is going to be to costly will have to get a different one.
