The problem started when the purple wire going from the heater to the first thermostat burned off, I reconnected it thinking it just broke off, then both purple wires burned off the connector to the thermostat on the heater side. Help

Check the heating element and see if this is the cas. Be sure to have the machine unplugged as you work on it.
