From the looks of your push on terminals, I would say the problem here is heat generated from poor connection coupled with a fairly high current flow.
The answer, in my humble opinion, is to lower the current flow through the switch by the addition of a relay. The switch would handle the coil of the relay (about 1/2 amp) and the contacts of the relay do the real work of carrying the heater load. Potter & Brumfield make relays for this purpose and Newell has used them for years.
