UPDATE: I called an appliance repair guy and explained the problem just to see what he thought. He says there's probably a short in the wire somewhere, but he's not sure he'd be able to fix it. He says it's probably not worth his coming over to my house and that I should probably just get a new range.

Any thoughts, folks? Is he right or is he just too lazy to come to my place and look at it?

It seems like a wire could just be replaced...

...if that's all it is.

I don't see any damage to the wire that was connected to the burnt terminal, and I can see the entire wire. It's a bit brown on the ends compared to the others – I guess because so much heat has moved through it.

I welcome any suggestions or input!
