I want to make sure I’m covered and safe!
Not sure exactly. I know some of the wiring could rest against the coil once the housing is slid back on. I think most current standard wire "should" withstand the heat. I have a KW but when I opened it up everything was OK except for a couple of the studs being snapped off. So I left well enough alone with the wires. I know there are guys that fix these and ZW's "professionally". Maybe one of them will see this and can let you know. I don't have access at this time to equipment to set-up thermocouples and find out. Sorry can't help you more. I, like you, though rather err on the side of caution. When I fix something I want it to last another 70 years, even though I know I won't be around that long. If you used fiberglass shielded wire I KNOW that would work, but probably overkill.
