If you intend to install a new cord it would be a good idea to perform a resistance/continuity check on all three terminals..........on the off-chance there is a "short" or "open" in the heaer

There should be continuity(with slight resistance) between each of the two outer terminals(approx 10 to 30 ohms depeding on wattage of heater)......If there is no continuity(open) the heater/element will not work..........

There should be NO continuity between either of the outer terminals and the center terminal or the body of the block heater..........If there is continuity there is a short and installing a cord will be dangerous..................

For replacement heaters, these guys have it all:
