Some electrical / technical knowledge required here please. Last week, I decided to clean the fridge burner. So, got to the burner, took it out and emptied all the fine dust out of it, then thought I’d gently clean the top of the burner, and it started collapsing as I touched it. I suspect 5 years of rust and heat had weakened it. Anyway, I managed to effect a temp repair and ordered a new burner assembly, which came today. It seems easy to fit, apart from the igniter and thermocouple wires that plug into a module, on the back of the fridge that is impossible to get to without removing the fridge, which I don’t fancy doing. So, I have 3 choices. Leave as it is, but it will corrode more. Try to renew just the burner, but I think this is soldered in. Cut then rejoin the wires to the new module.
The wires appear to be single stranded steel. Is it safe to cut and rejoin these? Will it work?
