Customer Questions and Answers for Grid - Cutter by Whirlpool

Joel, Sorry, but No, you shouldn't " use it in a regular electric outlet directly" The grid cutter wiring is designed to operate on eight(8) volts AC, and has 4 to 5 ohms resistance, so maximum voltage would be an additional 10 %, making the voltage range 7 to 9 VAC. Applying 120 VAC to the grid would cause premature failure of the part. Sorry.
