Description
The International Comfort Products 1184323 is a manual reset rollout switch engineered to safeguard furnace heat exchangers and burner compartments from the hazards of flame rollout. When burner flames roll out beyond their intended boundary — due to a cracked heat exchanger, blocked flue, or restricted airflow — this switch detects the elevated temperature and immediately interrupts the gas valve or ignition circuit, shutting down the system before damage or danger can escalate.
Key Features
- Trip temperature: 285°F (140°C) — opens circuit upon reaching set point
- Manual reset design: requires a deliberate technician reset after trip, preventing automatic restart until the root cause is identified and corrected
- SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) configuration for straightforward wiring integration
- Direct OEM replacement for compatible International Comfort Products furnace models
- Compact form factor for easy installation in tight burner compartment locations
Why Manual Reset Matters
Unlike auto-reset limit switches, a manual reset rollout switch requires a qualified technician to physically inspect the appliance and reset the device before the system can operate again. This is a critical safety feature — flame rollout is always a symptom of an underlying problem, and automatic restart without diagnosis could result in equipment damage, carbon monoxide exposure, or fire.
Application
- Replacement rollout switch for International Comfort Products (ICP) gas furnaces
- Mounts in the burner compartment to monitor for abnormal flame activity
- Compatible with residential and light commercial ICP furnace platforms — verify model compatibility before installation
Installation Notes
Always disconnect power and gas supply before servicing. After replacing this switch, inspect the heat exchanger, flue venting, and burner assembly to determine the cause of the original rollout event. Reset the switch only after the root cause has been corrected.
