Samsung dryer, less than 5 years old.
In the last year, I have replaced the motor (bad centrifugal switch), then the pulley failed. (thanks, Appliance Blog!)
Now a wire has melted from the main harness to the heating element. (See blue wire in photo).
I am wondering: should I be concerned with a larger issue causing this failure? The thermistor resistance seems to be correct w/regard to temperature.
What's the best way to safely repair? (not sure this problematic dryer is worth a $170 wire harness at this point)
Thanks for any advice.
