No but that’s a good idea if I have to fix it again. It’s actually melting the wire as well. If I fix it again I’ll increase the wire gauge and get a better spade connector, that seems to be a popular fix online.

The design is stupid, there are three wires feeding the three different heating elements and this one return wire, but they are the same gauge. No shock this is the one that’s overheating.
