Description
The International Comfort Products 1186801 is an OEM replacement limit switch engineered to protect furnaces and heating systems from dangerous overheating conditions. Acting as a critical safety device, this limit switch monitors heat exchanger temperatures and interrupts the burner circuit when temperatures exceed safe operating thresholds — helping prevent equipment damage and ensuring occupant safety.
How It Works
The limit switch opens (trips) when the sensed temperature reaches 190°F, cutting power to the burner or gas valve to prevent overheating. Once the system cools and the temperature drops to 150°F, the switch automatically resets, restoring normal operation. This automatic reset behavior minimizes downtime while maintaining a reliable safety margin.
