I'm learning about electronic components. I believe this is the part which has broken and made this heating pad unsafe to use. Well, unusable, not just unsafe lol.

MELF stands for Metal Electrode Leadless Face although anyone who has had the pleasure of working with them will tell you it stands for Most End up Lying on the Floor.
