Dropping Resistor

Copyright General Electric 2010
Control Panel
The timer dropping resistor (on electric models) controls the run time during automatic
cycles. This 4500 ohm resistor is in series with the timer motor, when the thermostat
trips turning off the heat –the resistor drops the 240 vac heater circuit to 120 vac to run
the timer motor. The resistor is held in place on the bracket with a single Phillips screw.
