over heating

my shower started to smell of burning, and the top of the shower became very hot. i removed the cover and a wire from no.3 (on diagram) to no.8(pressure switch) had burnt the plastiic insulation. i cleaned all the burnt wire and replaced the insulation,it seems to be o/k for now and i'm monitoring it, have you any idea what it may be ? the shower is about 8/9 years old.

This is usually caused by a connection not being properly screwed down or a slack spade connector causing high resistence and consequent over heating so make sure connections are good.
