Tecumseh K90-135 Overload Relay

Description

The Tecumseh K90-135 is an OEM overload relay designed to protect compressor motors from damage caused by excessive current draw and overheating conditions. Engineered to Tecumseh’s exacting standards, this overload relay serves as a critical safety component in residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems, automatically interrupting the circuit when unsafe operating conditions are detected.

Product Overview

Overload relays are essential compressor electrical components that monitor motor current and temperature. When the compressor draws more current than its rated capacity — due to locked rotor conditions, voltage irregularities, or mechanical failures — the overload relay trips to prevent motor winding damage. The Tecumseh K90-135 is a direct OEM replacement part, ensuring proper fit and function for compatible Tecumseh compressor models.

Key Features

• OEM Tecumseh overload relay for compressor motor protection
• Protects against overcurrent and overtemperature conditions
• Automatic trip function to prevent compressor motor winding damage
• Direct OEM replacement for compatible Tecumseh compressor models
• Designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration applications
• Reliable performance to maintain system uptime and equipment longevity

Application

The K90-135 overload relay is intended for use with compatible Tecumseh hermetic and semi-hermetic compressors found in air conditioning, heat pump, and refrigeration systems. Always verify compatibility with your specific compressor model number before installation.

Why Choose OEM Tecumseh Parts?

Using genuine Tecumseh replacement components ensures proper electrical ratings, fit, and performance. Aftermarket substitutes may not meet the original design specifications, potentially voiding warranties or causing premature component failure. The K90-135 delivers the dependability that HVAC professionals expect from the Tecumseh brand.
