Where Do I buy Oven Parts

While cooking my chicken pie this afternoon I heard a horrible sound. It sounded like a stick welder when the electrode gets stuck to the welding surface. I run into the kitchen, yank open the oven door and find the smoldering remains of my bake element. The think burnt completely through in two places and it melted the aluminum foil drip catcher thingy. Also a spiral pattern of missing material that was blasted from the element wound its way around most of the rest of the element. Damn this thing was smokey and smelly.Anyone know if Home Depot or Lowes sells baking elements for 19 year old Hotpoint ranges? Is this the usual way elements burn out? Is this oven a fire or electrical hazard?
