<<<The plug on mine 'lights up' when it's heating.
If in doubt, these are cheap to replace at 20$ each.<<<

Not really. At least most don't light up "when they are heating"
They simply light up if 120 VAC is at the plug. So if the thermostat
or the heating element opens up, the light will stay lit. Have you
ever seen the light go on and off as it cycles? ..John

Yes. It warmed up and the light went out. The box says it's supposed to do
that so I guess it's working.
