Our Hotpoint freezer defrost keeps burning through the wires on either side of the heater element to the point of black charred. We've been able to reconnect the wires a couple time and it will work for a while then burn so we replaced the heater defrost and it worked fine for a while, like 3 to 4 weeks, then you can smell the burning. when I checked it, both sides had charred off, the left wire connection and the right connection with the little rubber cap things on them that hook into the heater. The heater always seems to work fine it's just the wiring that's the problem. But you have to order the entire heater to get the connection thing. DOes the thermostat have anything to do with this maybe?
