Question Dryer wires melting at terminal block
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 41783042201
Age: 1 - 4 years

could this be a problem with the thermostat I have had to replace the block twice on this dryer and am worried that it is a wiring problem. It also had a wire short at the knob on front. maybe not grounded properly?

Probably originally a bad connection at terminal block, dryer should now work ok.
