Hot Wire Millermatic 185

Has anyone experienced a problem I am having with my Miller 185 MIG with a M-15 gun? The wire heats red hot between the drive rolls and the wire spool. I was tacking a patch using short hits when the wire stopped feeding. When I checked the wire feed area I found the wire had melted itself into the plastic inlet bushing right in front of the drive rolls. I checked for shorts in the spool area and found none. I replaced the bushing and tried again with the the same results. The problem just occurred. I was using the machine, lightly for the past few years when I purchased it in "new" condition.
I have a message into Miller's tech help but I suspect they will just recommend a repair shop. Any suggestions are appreciated.
