Magnetec converter part

Hello All. I have a Magnetek 6325 converter in my rig that does not work. I removed the converter and found a broken electrical part. I can’t read the part (ID)number on the broken part. Can anyone help me figure out what it is so I can purchase a new one?


Hopefully, i uploaded those pictures correctly. Thanks for the help!
  • That is a high wattage resistor. It is about 2 to 2.5 inches long so I will guess in the 25 to 50 watt range. The value/part number is probably on the back side or bottom. You'll have to drill out the rivet to verify.

    That resistor is probably $10 to $15 dollars.

    Now for the opinion....

    I can't speak for newer Magnetek converters, but I have worked on several old Magnetek converters, 2004 and older, and I would not fix it. The output was not filtered and controlled like todays converters.

    I suggest replacing with a modern Progressive Dynamics multi-stage or another brand of equivalent output. They are microprocessor controlled and have multi-stage charging which is much better on the battery.

    Look on line, I picked up one about 2 years ago for $60. Currently I'm seeing 100 - 150 on ebay.

    Good luck.
  • I also would just replace that ancient unit.

    The manual does have part numbers and descriptions if you want to repair
  • New members cannot most photos for after some posts.
    Part looks like a ceramic resistor.
    You would be better off with replacing converter completely. You would get better battery charging and performace.
    Try contacting Bestconverter.com for a good replacement. Maybe one of these Converter lower section
