opal 2 overheating

My opal 2 has started overheating. The top left section above the tco gets hot to the touch if it is used on 2 circles for more than 5 mins. on 1 circle it feels fine even if the temp is turned all the way up.

I had opened it as i was smelling a tcp like smell. the tco sticker is discoloured and the plastic housing has started to burn. the wiring is fine apart from the white cable that goes from the tco to the pcb. it has become hard and inflexible.



am presuming that it is the heating element and that i should change the tco to be safe can i replace the white wire?

Would suspect there is a poor connection to the TCO causing the overheating , you need to replace the tco and the wire and make sure connections are good and tight.
TCO can be ordered online by clicking on the link below.
