GE/Hotpoint dryer has been the bane of my existence for the last few months. I’ve replaced the heating element, thermostats, selector switch, and cleaned out the vent line. This time the return wire from the heating element had melted off of the spade plug and the dryer wasn’t heating. Replaced it, it melted again the next day. Took my time on the next one and cut back the wire to a clean area, cleaned the element plug really well, and made damn sure it was a good crimp. Holding so far but I’m not confident. Looking online this appears to be a super common issue, if it happens again I’ll increase the wire gauge which is a popular fix.
