This high-quality High Limit Switch 160F is a critical safety component designed for residential gas furnaces and HVAC heating systems. As a thermal fan disc control, this switch monitors the internal temperature of the heat exchanger to prevent overheating. If the furnace reach its maximum safe temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit, this switch automatically interrupts the circuit to shut down the burners, protecting your heating equipment from damage and ensuring home safety. This replacement thermal limit switch is essential for maintaining proper furnace cycles and preventing dangerous high-heat conditions. It is a common fix for furnace units that are short-cycling or failing to provide consistent heat due to a tripped or faulty sensor.
