Fireplace Electrical Problem

The rocker switch on my fireplace just fried. Took the thing apart and found the wires to the rocker switch overheated and one melted the spade connector off the switch. Seems a fuse should have blown before the switch fried.

Has anybody experienced this yet. I've cleaned up the wires and replaced the connectors but will still need to order the switch from the manufacturer.

When removing the unit I found a temperature sensor coiled up inside the fireplace cabinet, where is this sensor supposed to be:confused, I would expect it should be out in the room. Nothing in the install manual mentions the temp sensor.

Mine just did the same thing. Bought a switch at Lowes 20 amp 125V $4.20.
To cold to wait on the factory.

I put the sensor out the back by the plug.
