70 K10 heater resistor

[Mav]

Blower working erratically, (replaced switch a couple yrs. ago) so decided to replace motor, fan, and resistor (all 3 original). New resistor was broken? when it arrived (white strip that links 2 springs was split in two) I guessed 1 drop of glue would have fixed it but not being sure I decided to let LMC send a new one. Anybody know if it was fixable? thanks

[Mav]

Sorry, instead of springs I should have called them coils...a large and a small one (white strip is split between them). May not affect operation at all, just dont know. thanks again Mav

As long as the continuity of the wire isn't affected and the coils aren't distorted or touching each other, I don't know why it couldn't be epoxied back together....

I agree. Unless the coils are loose enough that they can touch the only thing that matters is the continuity of the coils.

Yeah, just attempted to glue it, white stuff is so fragile one end of it broke off just trying to push halves together, (its almost like chalk) anyway now the coils do touch, thats the purpose of the chalky strip, oh well new one is on its way and I learned something! Thanks for replies, Mav

For the folks who like a picture.

Thanks for putting up pic, I need to figure out how to do that, among other things....
