Yesterday there was burnt smell and it stopped during rinse. Wouldn't start again. I waited 10-15min, I reset the cycle to rinse, it worked 5 seconds then stopped again. Waiter 10-15mins, did same, worked 5 seconds then stopped. I opened the back and I see this burned wire and burn marks in the inside of the casing. I don't see anything else wrong in there but I don't know much about these. Here are two pictures of the burned stuff. I have more pictures also if anyone wants. Any idea if this can be fixed? Thanks! TremblayGil attached the following image(s):

See attached. Is it worthwhile to attempt to replace the relay switch and the burned wire? TremblayGil attached the following image(s):
