My GE timer, model 15132 has stopped working. I can see that resistor R2 on the circuit board has fried (it's black). Anyone know the value of this resistor?

CONTACT NEFF DIRECTLY

Resistors R1, R2, R3, and R4 are arranged in a circuit as shown in the figure above. The direction of positive currents I1, I2, I3, and I4 through the resistors are shown. (i.e., negative current values correspond to currents in the opposite direction to that shown above). The values for the resistors and the batteries in the circuit are: R1 = 100 ?, R2 = 200 ?, R3 = 30 ?, R4 = 400 ?, V1 = 4 V, and V2 = 12 V.

Both resistors are: 1/4w 100 ohm with 5% tolerance (brown, black, brown & gold colors). Best to use the "Metal Film" type because they're more durable than the "Carbon Film" type.

I have tested this timer.
GE 15132 timer can be wired muliple ways to accommodate different voltages and many different timing needs.

1) First thing is you must set dip switches BEFORE applying power.
Timer arrives pre-set for 277Volts.
For 120V, set all 4 dip switches to the left, or ON.

2) Otherwise your wiring sounds correct.
Hot black wire to far left 'clock' terminal.
Neutral white wire to next 'clock' terminal.

Jumper from Hot terminal to COM terminal.
Black Load wire on NO terminal.
White Load wire to same 'clock' terminal as Neutral

3) Possible solution:
Move wires to COM2 and NO2 and see if that relay is working.

4) Make sure your programming does not have conflicts.
See if manual override is working.
Test for voltage across 'clock' terminals
Move manual override and watch if relay clicks open-closed.
Check that Load is operable by moving NO wire to COM terminal.

5) If timer is not functioning, exchange at Home Depot.
You can switch out mechanism without replacing box.
Mechanism is held with hex screws.

Same thing happened to me recently. The charger (wall transformer) is bad, there is little voltage coming out of the charger base. The circuit inside the base is simple rectifier with LED. Mine is fried from my experiment. If anyone has the resistor R1, R2 values or colored pictures to show the color bars would be helpful.
I thought mine was 52 ohms and 100 ohms respectively...but that doesn't seem right.
At any rate, a simple 14-15VDC 200mA charger could replace the adapter/circuit board altogether.

Hello,
You can determine the resistors value by reading the color code bands that are marked on it. The following picture is an example of the color codes and there values.



To show you how to read the color codes on a resistor, I am including a link to a video that will explain how to do this easier than I could probably explain it.

I hope this helps you in solving the problem. If you need further assistance please feel free to ask.

If you would not mind, please rate my help. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You

I need the same, but found a Makita multi-voltage charger and have been able to use it. The package says It is for Makita batteries only. HItachi also makes a universal battery charger. I found both at my local Lowe's. The Makita was originally $69, but was marked down to $25. The Hitachi was around $70. You can find either one for good prices on Ebay or Amazon.

Good luck!

Brown/ Black/ Brown/ Gold It is a 100 ohm +/- 5%
