    If 3 out of 4 are dead, I am guessing the cooker is fairly old. I personally would look at a replacement. A freestanding cooker (which I'm assuming yours is) can be got fo less than £200, probably a lot less if you shop around for sales etc. As you say, by the time you have paid for a call out, repair and parts, you will be paying a fair whack and probably just chucking money away. Buy a new one.
