I think that 'tag strip' looking part is actually a thermal trip that possibly has the red hot resistor wired across it to reduce the voltages in the event of a fault. This suggests that you do have a fault that must be repaired. It maybe as already suggested that the caps may be wrongly wired. Don't know as I don't have a circuit diagram to follow.
