Hi,
This morning, I found that my immersion heater had stopped working. The short wire that runs from the thermostat to the live terminal of the heater had fried (or at least its insulation did) and disconnected from the terminal pin.
Although I've scavenged a replacement wire from an old immersion heater, there's no obvious way of attaching it. (The heater came with the wire permanently fixed in place.)
Is it safe to solder the wire to the terminal pin? Any other options?
In the photo, it's the pin with the blue base.
