How to replace mechanical timer GE 15307 with digital 46537

[reborn33]

Hi folks,

My old mechanical timer stopped working (GE model 15307). I bought a new digital one model 46537. I followed the instructions and all but couldn't get the new one to work.

I would really appreciate some help converting the wiring from the old to new.

Thanks!

Welcome to TFP.
Can you list out what equipment you have that connects to the timer. Also, show a picture of both old and new timer electrical connections as to how it was set up and how you wired the new timer. Is the picture you posted above the old timer wiring?

Move the wires on the old pin 1 to the new pin 1
Move the wires on the old pin 2 to the new pin 2
Move the wires on the old pin 3 to the new pin 3
Move the wires on the old pin 4 to the new pin 5
Add a jumper from the new pin 1 to the new pin 4
Add a jumper from the new pin 2 to the new pin 6

This assumes that the old pin 1 and 2 are used as the L1 and L2 240 volts input to your old timer.

Thanks,

Jim R.

Unfortunately I did not take a picture of the new wiring before undoing it (dumb). Yes, The one I shared is from the old timer.
Please find pictures showing the equipment connected to the timer.
