Description
Overview
The International Comfort Products 1176905 is an automatic reset limit switch engineered to protect furnace heat exchangers and system components from dangerous overtemperature conditions. Designed as a direct OEM replacement for compatible ICP heating systems, this limit switch provides reliable, automatic thermal protection without requiring manual intervention after a fault condition clears.
How It Works
The limit switch monitors supply air or heat exchanger temperatures during furnace operation. When temperatures reach the upper trip point of 165°F, the switch opens the circuit, shutting down the burner or blower to prevent overheating damage. Once temperatures fall back to the reset threshold of 125°F, the switch automatically resets and restores normal operation — minimizing downtime and service calls.
