Heil Quaker ICP 1184896 Limit Switch
The Heil Quaker ICP 1184896 Limit Switch is a critical safety component engineered for forced-air furnace applications. This L200-20F limit switch serves as a primary high-limit control, designed to interrupt the burner circuit if the heat exchanger temperature exceeds safe operating parameters. Rated for a 200?F cutout and a 180?F cut-in, this normally closed disc switch features an automatic reset mechanism that re-establishes the circuit once temperatures return to the nominal range. As a genuine OEM ICP furnace part, the 1184896 ensures precise thermal response times, preventing heat exchanger fatigue and potential safety hazards. It is a direct-fit replacement for various International Comfort Products brands, including Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker. This HVAC high limit switch is built for durability in high-cycle environments, providing contractors with a reliable solution for fixing short-cycling issues or blower-on failure modes caused by thermal drifting in older, non-compliant controls.
Key Benefits- Precise Thermal Calibration: Calibrated for a 200?F opening and 180?F closing to ensure optimal system safety and efficiency.
- Genuine OEM Compatibility: Engineered as a drop-in replacement for ICP 1184896, maintaining the original equipment?s safety certifications and performance ratings.
- Automatic Reset Functionality: Eliminates the need for manual intervention by automatically restoring operation after the heat exchanger cools.
- Enhanced System Protection: Prevents furnace overheating, which protects the heat exchanger from premature cracks and failure.
- Reliable Normally Closed Circuit: High-quality internal contacts designed for consistent switching under typical 125VAC/15A electrical loads.
What does the L200-20F designation mean on this switch?
The "L200" indicates the high-limit trip temperature of 200?F. The "-20F" represents the 20?F differential, meaning the switch will automatically reset and close the circuit when the temperature drops to 180?F.
Why is my furnace blower running constantly while the burners are off?
If the limit switch has tripped or failed in the open position, the furnace control board typically triggers the blower as a safety measure to cool the heat exchanger. Replacing a faulty 1184896 limit switch often resolves this symptom.
Can I use this limit switch in other furnace brands?
While the 1184896 is a specific Heil Quaker limit switch, it is used across the ICP family (Arcoaire, Comfortmaker, Tempstar). Always verify the temperature rating and mounting depth (3-inch) before attempting to cross-reference with other manufacturers like Rheem or Nordyne.
