Tecumseh K90-06 Overload Kit

Tecumseh K90-06 Overload Kit

Ensure reliable thermal protection for your refrigeration equipment with the genuine Tecumseh K90-06 Overload Kit. As an OEM compressor replacement part, this kit is specifically engineered for Tecumseh hermetic compressors found in commercial air conditioning, industrial freezers, and residential refrigerators. This external motor protector functions as a critical safety device, monitoring the compressor's current draw and winding temperature. If an overcurrent condition or thermal spike occurs, the compressor overload protector breaks the circuit, preventing catastrophic motor blowout. Designed for precise fitment, the K90-06 overload eliminates the guesswork associated with universal alternatives by matching the exact trip curves required for your specific model. For service technicians, utilizing Tecumseh HVAC parts ensures system integrity, maintains efficiency, and protects high-value components from electrical damage during locked rotor conditions or voltage fluctuations.

Key Benefits
  • Compatible with a wide range of Tecumseh residential and commercial compressors for versatile field applications.
  • Engineered to trip at precise thermal and amperage thresholds, preventing stator damage and total compressor failure.
  • Lightweight and compact OEM design ensures an exact fit within the terminal box for rapid installation and troubleshooting.
  • Essential for restoring cooling system operation after an original component has failed due to compressor cycling issues.
  • Maintains the original UL certification and equipment performance ratings of your HVACR units.
Common Questions

How do I verify if the K90-06 is the correct overload for my unit?
Confirm the model number on your compressor's nameplate. This kit is specifically designed for certain Tecumseh series; checking the bill of materials ensures the trip characteristics match your motor's requirements.

What are the symptoms of a failing compressor overload kit?
Typical indicators include the compressor "clicking" and failing to start, the external housing being excessively hot to the touch, or the motor cutting out shortly after the startup cycle begins.

Does this kit include hardware for terminal connections?
This kit is provided as the primary overload component. It is standard practice for technicians to reuse existing wire leads or replace them with 14AWG high-temp terminal wires if they show signs of pitting or heat stress.
