Re: Electric Oven Wire keeps burning out!

According to cfidad <no@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
The yellow wire to the bottom heating element of my Maytag PER4310BAQ
keeps burning out. The oven stops heating up and I find the last
inch of wire charred black where it connects to the heating element.
I have replaced the heating element once with a factory replacement,
but the problem continues. I am concerned that just cutting the wire
and crimping it once again to the heating element connector will
eventually cause an unsafe condition with the exposed wire touching
other parts. My intention is to find the cause for the repeated
burning out of the same wire. Does anyone out there have the
expertise to tell me what to fix to prevent this problem from
continuing?
It'll either be poor crimping technique or the wrong type of
crimp. Or both.
Heating/cooling/oxidation cycles will be hell on connections
if they're not done just perfectly. Secondly, using automotive
connectors with a heating element is bound to not work for
very long.
Probably the simplest/cheapest thing to do would be to take the
wire into to a proper appliance repair outlet and get a new wire
made up.
