You better be worried about a fire hazard !
There usually is a good reason for a transformer to burn it's
coil.

There is nothing basically wrong with resoldering the part, but
_please_ make sure that there is some thermal cutout device in
the circuit. (And that it is thermically coupled to the
transformer.)

Don't most/all transformer primaries have this?
