When the resistor heats up too hot to touch this indicates the solenoid is not closing and the motor is trying to draw enough power to run through the resistor.
The solenoid may click but not closing contacts. Remove the resistor and test with a meter to see if 36v is on both large terminals when the solenoid clicks.
