ID a varistor on a dehumidifier?

Jan 05, 2006 0 Replies

I have what I think is a varistor. About a 5mm diameter disk, burnt around the upper edge. It is marked with the manufacturer(?) - CVN Mexico - on one side and the other side marked



x60 X010



This may not be a varistor, maybe a capacitor or ?. It is in series with a 15 ohm resistor feeding a relay coil marked 24VAC. The relay coil burnt out as well as the resistor and this component. Any idea what it is? Below is a layout of the circuit.


+VAC --------varistor(?)----15 ohm res.-----humidistat switch------24vac relay coil-------ground
