Default Wax Actuator watts?

My bathroom extract fan's wax actuator has failed. This is used to
slowly open the shutters, when the fan is triggered. This one..

It looks as if it has over-heated in the area, before it actually
failed. As it is marked 120/240v I'm thinking to install a dropper to
reduce the voltage across it to around 120v, but I cannot find a
specification for the wattage or current to determine a suitable
dropper.

Anyone know please?
