Many thanks! I will look into this during the week and report back here

Thank you for your reply, Jim. I would enjoy learning about it and fixing it myself. The actual doing appears quite easy - removing the part was trivial: just remove a few screws. Putting a replacement back will also be straight forward. However, how do I tell which parts are suitable? Can you advice? Is there some information I could provide to help? Perhaps a picture of the broken coil? Thanks!

I recently moved into a Condo and the electric furnace broke after 3 days. I took it apart (I am not too knowledgeable with this, but it's a very simple ancient-looking construction). It appears that the heating coil is physically broken (torn in one place). The furnace is labelled "Wesco Electric Central Heating Furnace 960K". My understanding is that Wesco spare parts are not available, is this right? Is there some generic heater coil I could use instead? And if not, can a physically torn coil be repaired? Many thanks and please let me know if I can provide any additional information to help you answering my question.
