    Possible, but not certain: The square labeled U: May represent the relay or contactor coil. Which energises a device. Square with 8: This could indeed be a thermal relay.

    Had this issue too, you’ll just have to pattern it the best you can and make a repair panel/patch to weld in. I’d get used to this cause if there ain’t an easy panel for it then it’s a diy job.
