That wire isn’t corroded, it’s overheated. Probably from a failing switch, but if you can’t find the problem you could have a lint fire. Check all your grounds and lake sure the wall cord is grounded to the machine d properly. Resistance can melt wires all over the place.
Thanks so much. Yes the wire connector end did look overheated. It seems to have been corrosion/rust as well which may have caused the overheating. I also cleaned out the lint in the dryer and exhaust. Tried to seal air leaks which I think was a stretch. Thanks for mentioning the ground as well. At one point, my dryer cord did get damaged I think when I was moving the dryer away from the wall to unplug it! The connection point at the dryer loosened and caused issues and so I replaced it. Somehow the anchoring clamp to keep the power cord in place when pulled was missing. I really appreciate your comment.
