There’s obviously something wrong that it’s done this on multiple places, I’d be tempted to just change it instead of risking potentially setting my house on fire.

Yeah, with you on that one.
A new similar product is only a couple of hundred so seems the wiser decision.
Thanks. -
It's likely just poorly made spade connectors that didn't grip properly. Once they're fixed the problem is gone. Self-evidently the others are fine, since they'd be subjected to the same current and conditions.
@Tomo187 No idea about costs, this is the DIY thread! I suspect it could vary widely based on the particular flavour of handyperson.

Thanks for the reply.
There's only one wire for that connector which is good and the blue one below was only blackened and nothing charred.
Whilst inspecting again I've found another burnt connector for a different part of the oven.
The oven is a Samsung single fan one so not too expensive I wouldn't have thought.
Any idea roughly how much the repair would cost with call out? I'm in Brighton so prices are probably not a million miles off London.
