Separate delay on the signal may be the ticket.

There's no worrys about losing the signal in long wires on this job. The signal isn't delicate and the wires can't possibly be more than 4 feet long and stay inside the stove.

Hang the goodies wherever they fit an make as many connector wires as you need.
Just be sure to use high temperature wires where needed.

I have the same situation. My hotwire relay is dying a slow death. How did the time delay relay solution work out for you? I don't want to buy a $500 replacement part either.

I was able to remove the hotwire relay from its housing and bend the deficient contact so that both contacts will close with equal force. It appeared that this was a manufacturing defect that got slowly worse over time. I also removed the pitting from the deficient contact. Hopefully, this will be a long term fix.

Be careful of the extremely thin wires that connect the heating element.
