TYIA. So about 3 weeks ago I changed our lower heating element. It has been working amazing, actually it was too hot, so I had to turn it down 3-4 days ago.
This morning at 4am I had my wife waking me up asking if it smells like fire, it did. This is what I found... Upper temp controller. I flipped off the breaker and unscrewed the burnt up wire. It was tight, not a loose connection.
Other bad part is we're selling and closing on this house in about a month... what should we do? Advisable just to replace the upper controller and element? Why didn't the breaker trip?? Need some advice from smarter people than me.
