Tecumseh K90-09 Overload Kit

Tecumseh K90-09 Overload Kit

If you are servicing Tecumseh compressors, the Tecumseh K90-09 Overload Kit is a critical field-service replacement for maintaining motor integrity. Specifically engineered for fractional horsepower compressors, including models like the AEB1413AXA and AEB3425AXA, this thermal overload protector prevents motor burnout by interrupting the circuit when excessive current or high shell temperatures occur. For an HVACR contractor, using an OEM Tecumseh K90-09 is vital for matching the precise RLA and LRA trip curves required for safely operating at 115V. This compressor protection kit includes the necessary external lead wires and terminal housing components to ensure a secure connection to the hermetic terminal pins. Replacing a weak or tripped overload is a standard preventive measure that mitigates the risk of terminal venting and promotes long-term system stability in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications. Ensure you verify the compressor displacement and electrical requirements against the technical guidebook before installing.

Key Benefits
  • Precision Thermal Response: Calibrated to trip during high-amperage conditions, protecting the internal windings from permanent thermal damage.
  • OEM Compatibility: Direct fit for multiple Tecumseh AE series compressors, ensuring the trip point matches the manufacturer's original specifications.
  • Industrial Build Quality: Constructed with high-grade bimetal components to withstand the cyclical heat and vibration of hermetic refrigeration systems.
  • Rapid Field Service: Simplifies troubleshooting and repair by providing a complete plug-and-play overload kit for immediate restoration of cooling.
Common Questions

Which compressor models are compatible with the K90-09?
This kit is primarily used with the AEB1413AXA and AEB3425AXA models. Always cross-reference your specific compressor's bill of materials or the Tecumseh Electrical Service Parts Guidebook for confirmation.

Does this kit include the terminal cover and bale strap?
The K90-09 consists of the thermal overload protective device and required wiring. Associated hardware like the terminal cover or bale strap is typically reused or sold separately depending on the specific compressor housing configuration.

How do I know if the overload or the relay is the cause of a starting failure?
A veteran technician should test the overload protector for continuity. If the device remains open while cool, or if there is visible discoloration at the terminals, the K90-09 kit should be replaced to ensure the compressor restarts reliably under load.
