Multi-Function Thermal Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation

THERMAL LIMITER SWITCH
The thermal limiter switch measures compressor surface temperature. If compressor surface temperature is excessive, the switch cuts battery feed to the compressor clutch coil. The switch will reset itself, once compressor surface temperature returns to normal. The switch is not adjustable or serviceable, if faulty the compressor must be replaced.

The thermal limiter switch interrupts battery feed to the compressor clutch coil when temperature reaches 122 - 128° C (250 - 260° F). The switch restores clutch coil battery feed when the temperature drops to 104 - 116° C (220 - 240° F).
