Description
The Armstrong Furnace R102857-20 is an OEM replacement L140-30F limit control designed to protect your furnace from overheating and heat exchanger damage. As a critical safety component, this limit switch monitors supply-air temperature and interrupts the burner circuit when temperatures reach unsafe levels, then automatically resets once conditions return to normal operating range.
How It Works
The L140-30F designation identifies this as a limit control with a 140°F open (trip) set point and a 30°F fixed differential, meaning the control opens at 140°F and automatically resets at approximately 110°F. When airflow is restricted — due to a dirty filter, blocked return, or blower failure — temperatures rise and the limit control cuts power to the burner, preventing damage and potential hazards.

Why Replace Your Limit Control?
A faulty or worn limit control can cause nuisance shutdowns, prevent the furnace from firing, or — in a worst-case failure — allow the system to overheat. Replacing with a genuine OEM Armstrong part ensures the control operates within the original design parameters, maintaining system safety and efficiency.
