Was the black mark on the wire or on the circuit board the wire connects to? The oil may have damaged the board, probably the control panel.

Christopher Sean Harris, as soon as I read your question I realized there was a control panel! I found a video online and cleaned all of the parts that were cleanable. It works now!!! Thank you so much! Never would have gotten there without your question. If it blows up again, I will be back!
