What can be used instead of a potentiometer?
If you want to replace simply replace the potentiometer with the same value of resistance (or closest value to it). One pin of the resistor connects to Vcc the other to the input of your LCD.
Does a potentiometer regulate voltage?
A potentiometer, or “pot” is a variable resistor with three terminals and a shaft that can be turned in either direction. Using one of the end terminals and the wipers, create a variable resistor to control or adjust current. Use all three terminals to create a voltage divider to control or adjust voltage.

SM-10-H 2,5 B-ASD means SM10H03 PN19 and PN19EZ supplier potentiometer replacement is PT15
Can a potentiometer be used as a rheostat?
Technically, a variable resistor is known as a rheostat, but potentiometers can be made to function as rheostats quite easily. In its simplest configuration, a potentiometer may be used as a rheostat by simply using the wiper terminal and one of the other terminals, the third terminal left unconnected and unused:
Are there different resistance values in a potentiometer?
The potentiometer is variable and we can fix different values of resistance in the same potentiometer, but to reduce the complexity and size of the circuit, we are presented with a different option on resistance value. Most of the potentiometers will have the resistance values in the multiples of 10,20,22,25,47 and 50.
How are Potentiometers used to adjust voltages?
Potentiometers can be used to adjust voltages or currents by varying the resistance of the device. The adjustment can then be used to set a varying level or gain when used in conjunction with other components such as op amps.
