Originally, my heater was switched with a SSR. The relay was appropriately rated and should have worked perfectly.
Like you, I had a series of failures (no fires though) mostly open circuit. My pack runs at 220v and I am using a 4kw Dishwasher heater drawing about 20A.
After all the trouble, I swapped out the relay for a Kilovac contactor which has been trouble free.
I'm annoyed that I've been defeated by the SSR's - but glad I went for the Kilovac in the end!
