Lennox 56W25 AUTO Limit Switch Overview
The Lennox 56W25 is an automatic-reset high-limit switch engineered to protect furnaces and heating equipment from dangerous overtemperature conditions. Rated for a temperature range of 220–250°F, this OEM-quality component monitors heat exchanger temperatures and interrupts the burner circuit when unsafe conditions are detected, then automatically resets once temperatures return to a safe operating range — eliminating the need for manual intervention after a nuisance trip.
