um. isn't that a wattstopper?

i see a lot of wattstopper doa's.
their quality control is, in my experience, iffy.

ah, pictures! yes, overamperage can cause that type of damage. I've also seen a lot of thermostats fail when mounted on exterior walls/high humidity environments - there could have been corrosion on the contacts/board that hastened its failure.

or like fullthrotl wrote, just a cheap part that went up to that big smoke wisp in the sky.
