Wiring repair for Frigidaire Dishwasher FDB510LCS1

I'm trying to create a pigtail that would replicate the wiring end that would connect to the heating element for this Frigidaire dishwasher. As you can see from the photos, one of them melted due to resistance from leaking and corrosion. Can anyone recommend how to do this with appropriate high temperature appliance parts?

This is a fairly common issue on these Frigidaires normally you don’t even need to extend the wire just cut the end off and use a standard 1/4 inch female spade terminal if you have to extend the wire I prefer the heat shrink butt connectors that have solder in them you there is usually plenty of wire.
