Could be the humidity getting into the area where the wires are. This causes corrosion and makes the wires brittle over time as well as overheating due to corrosion. If this thing is an old model you may as well replace all the wires.

The wire goes to heating elements under the table.
Connections to heating elements sometimes demand
special high temperature insulation on the wires
especially in already hot environments.
Do your repairs that "keep burning out" use at least
115 Deg. C. rated insulation?
(Remember "steam" ... 100 Deg. C. ?)
(The above assumes that the applied voltage
is correct for the unit and controls check out.)

Either a short in the wiring, or not enough amps going to the table, causing the wires to get hot.
