:Greetings, I am working on a GE 114w and wanted to move a resistor to add a light for the dial and cracked it........I want to replace it but I do not know the voltage. It's R9 on the schematic @22ohm and 1/2 a watt---carbon. Should I use the exact specs? or 1 watt? another type? How do I know the voltage? I have read that 350 watt is usual.
:Thank you,

:Resistors are rated in terms of ohms and watts. You can go higher on the wattage if you want but the ohm rating should be kept the same. A carbon or metal film 22Ohm resistor at 1/2 watt or higher would be perfectly fine. I would probably use a 1 watt unit personally. Might be overkill but they are cheap devices. I hope that helps.

A 350 Watt resistor would be about the size of you leg. Now, let's look at Ohm's law for a moment. Being 22 Ohms, there is not going to be much Voltage across it. Power being equal to E squared over R, not much Voltage squared is still not very much Voltage, and dividing that by 22 Ohms is still not very much power. I am confident that a one half Watt resistor will do just fine and dandy.

:I purchased the resistor at radio shack. Is there a certain direction direction that they go. I would assume they match the same with the red lines on the 5th. pin to the left where the other one was?
