Don't do it again. The burnt connection you found became that way because of a loose connection-- loose connection == high resistance == excessive heat generation. Repair that connection using all fresh, new wire and you'll be good to go. “Juice” is something you drink; when used with reference to electricity it is both nebulous and ignorant.

It would spin but no heat. I took it apart thinking that the thermal fuse would be blown but it looks alright (has continuity.) The obvious problem is that the wire that goes between the high limit thermostat and the heating element was fried in half near the connector to the heating element. The heating element still has continuity but I don't have an ohmeter to check what the resistance actually is... Same deal with the high limit thermostat. what allowed that much juice to get through? the vent had a kink in it but at this point what can i do?
