Repairing a coil whose wire has broken off its lug
Steps
- Unwind one turn of the broken end if you can.
- Sand the enamel off the wire end.
- Wrap it on the lug and solder.
- Measure the coil: it must not read open, and should not read under about 2 ohms (a reattached coil reading about 1 ohm is still bad).
