Oven Repair (including Ranges and Cooktops)

I've taken apart the back of the oven and found that the terminal block is melted a little where the red wire connects. Also the first inch of the red casing on the power wire is burned--lots of black carbon on wire and contact. The Electonic Oven Control (Clock/Timer/etc.) shows no signs of burned or melted solder. It's only 2.5 years old, normal use. Any ideas? Should I replace the EOC and the Terminal block?

I forgot to mention a few details: I was able to reset the breaker two times after the initial blow-out. The EOC/clock/timer would light up and I was able to heat the oven and the burners. After I tested Bake for 5 minutes the breaker blew with a popping noise. I reset the breaker and tested Broil. It blew after 5 minutes also. After that I could not get the breaker to stay on.
