Their would not be a risk of fire as we use flame retardant plastics, they can melt and smolder but actually burning is not probable, what has likely happened is the pump failed and caused a transistor to overheat and burn. The warranty has passed as it was 2 years from original purchase, but I can discount a new complete unit and that would be the best course. The controller had substantial updates in late 2016 and now has a microprocessor safety so this transistor failure is not possible anymore. Please PM me.
