Either you have a corroded electrical connection (probably in the plug) or an element is bad. Try cleaning both ends of the removeable plug until they are shiny.
Found internal thermal switch for my fcp240 at repairshack.com Part number P04-303 $9.95 plus about $6 to ship. Fits FCP240, FCP280, FCP412, FSU236 and FSU255 coffee percolaters. You'll need a little electrical knowledge to replace this switch.
