Slightly unrelated (but not really..?).. but..

Do block heaters go bad? I haven't used mine since I bought this 83 300D, and it's getting downright cold lately. I'm tempted to plug in the block heater at work (We have truck bays with outlets) so that she starts up for the ride home, but I'm a little nervous, since I have yet to "test" the thing.

Whats the worst that will happen if it's bad, aside from electrocuting the bejezzus out of me?
