Default 1st a potentially dangerous vent error now a potentially dangerous stove problem

My wife noticed a burning smell with the stove a couple of weeks ago after which the stove no longer worked. The serviceman said the electrical connection was melted (see pic). He said that this is most likely caused by the electrical connection not being tightened enough at installation resulting in some electrical arcs or something eventually melting the wire. I guess I should consider myself lucky that neither the vent error (see other post) or this electrical connection error resulted in a fire. My home is a new courtyard villa. Boy they really slap these things together, don’t they?
