I had a plastic bag on the electric stove and I accidentally turned on the wrong burner. Now, I have bits of melted plastic on one of the electric rings. I have scrubbed and scrubbed and it won't come off. Please help!

That has never happened to me, but if it did I would be tempted to take a straight-edged razor and carefully scrape away at the burnt-on plastic. I wonder if the remnants that are left could just be burned off by running the burner for a while (with a ventilator fan on, of course).
I have parts of a plastic cutting board melted on mine. I scraped off as much as I could. I tried warming the burner with the overhead exhaust fan on. My fire alarm's went off. I have scraped many times. Any other suggestion would be appreciated. I will not use that burner.
That's a tough stain to get rid of, what I did, and it worked pretty well, was to get the burner hot as heck and use a full sized wire brush to clean the burner, I won't say that it will take all os it out but it sure got rid of a lot of the stain.
How about a new burner ring?
May not be able to get one. You have to order them online where I live and I'm on a budget anyway. $20 might as well be $100. If the OP is asking how to remove it, I'd wager a guess that they have thought about a replacement already but are in the same boat.
I did the same thing and tried almost everything to get it off with out much luck. It accidently slid into a sink full of soapy water with the dishes. I didn't notice it until I was almost finished. When I found it, the plastic was gone. I put it back in the receptical, after letting it dry for a couple of days and it worked fine.
HEAT THE STOVE RING AND WIPE WITH A THICK HEAVY DAMP RAG ONCE IT IS HOT IT SHOULD WIPE RIGHT OFF
Sounds like a good plan to heat the stove burner then wipe with round with a damp rag. What my husband is going to do tomorrow is take the stove round outside and blast it with a blow torch to get the plastic melted and then wipe with a damp rag.
The blow torch used outside to the stove round worked like a charm! No fuss, no muss! No toxic fumes. Just saying . . . .
