Re: Resistor coil is broke! Can I repair, etc.?
We used to call it Calrod. It is used in electric rangetops and ovens, as well as toaster ovens, etc. If it was simply steel it would immediately short circuit, but because it is a composite it creates resistance and heat.

Thanx Gornoman,
I knew that resistor material had a name and you had it: CALROD! Now I need to find a 7 or 9 gauge roll of about 10 feet! Thanx yo-dt |

Re: Resistor coil is broke! Can I repair, etc.?
Hold on there pardner. I'm not saying it IS Calrod, only that it MIGHT be. I don't want to lead anyone down the path. Let's get this confirmed by someone. Safety FIRST!

Re: Resistor coil is broke! Can I repair, etc.?
I welded the resistor coil about a month ago and the Hyundai cart has been running flawlessly. Don't believe some of the above responders that it is some weird metal content or can't be fixed. It is very simple to weld or have welded.

Re: Resistor coil is broke! Can I repair, etc.?
Thank you for letting us know how you worked this problem out.... it is all theory until you weld up a resistor coil and test drive it for a month
Continued luck with it P.S. They do still sell replacement resistor coils for some carts. |
