If you had a poor connection at the terminal block, this will be a resistance (ohms) as the current for the dryer passes through this resistance it creates heat. As time goes by arcing and corrosion at the connection increase the resistance and the connection generates more heat until finally the connection fails.
When repairing you have to make sure all connections are clean, all are on nice clean wire and all are tight.
