Description
The Carrier 338096 711 is a genuine OEM main limit switch (sometimes called a high temperature safety switch) designed to protect your furnace from overheating. It’s an essential safety component in Carrier, Bryant, and Payne HVAC systems.
Key Features
- High Temperature Safety Cut Out: This limit switch opens (“trips”) when the surrounding temperature rises to 195 °F, preventing the furnace from overheating.
- Auto Reset Function: Once the temperature drops to a safe level (typically around 175 °F), the switch automatically closes again to resume normal operation — no manual reset needed.
- Normally Closed Circuit: During standard operation, the switch remains closed, allowing current to flow and the furnace to continue running.
- Factory Authorized OEM Quality: Manufactured to Carrier’s original standards for reliable performance and a long service life.
- Compact & Durable Build: Rugged metal housing designed for repeated thermal cycling without compromising on durability.
- Built In Gasket (Optional Configuration): Available versions include a gasket for secure mounting and to help maintain proper seal and performance.
