I have an old Kenmore dryer. Lately, one of the wires that connects to the
high temperature sensor on the side of the heating coils has been burning up
at the point of contact (the wire burns, but the connector stays OK). The
happened once a couple years ago and I replaced the sensor and the heating
element. Now it's happening again, every few days (I'll admit it - I just
reconnect the wire each time for now). I tested the sensor, and it seems to
be working OK (frying pan test for conductivity). Any suggestions about
fixing this more permanently?

Indicates the connection is high resistance -- clean/replace and make
sure crimp(s) are also clean and tight.
