I just reread all the post in this thread....When I check the thermister I get an infinity read...you indicated it should read 10,000 ohms. Could this be why it overheats now that I've replaced the burnt wire? Do I need a new thermister?

Opps...I screwed up. Moving the tester to 20k on the ohm scale I got a reading of 5.84 so, yes 10,000 ohms resistance. So, everything checks out good to go. It just overheats

Is it too hot on all temperature settings?

You could check your exhaust temperatures, see page 9-5 in the manual.
Could be that the board is not controlling the temperature and it is being controlled by one of the high limit thermostats.

The thermostat will fail eventually as it's contacts are not made to continually turn the heater on/off.
