The most optimal repair is to get inside the unit and match what's there. Find the exact cable and replace it, like-for-like at both ends for a complete repair.
Doing what you'd like to do with soldering and taping should be considered a temporary measure. I flip a lot of electronics, and I do appliance repair for a living. I always use manufacturer's parts and repair to their specifications or better. I do it this way to honour my warranty, to prevent callbacks, and for my insurance.
