Tecumseh K90-11 Overload Kit

Tecumseh K90-11 Overload Kit

The Tecumseh K90-11 Overload Kit is a crucial external safety component designed to protect hermetic compressors from thermal and electrical overload conditions. As a field-ready compressor replacement part, this kit is specifically engineered for high-performance Tecumseh models, including the AEA4430AXA, AEA2410AXA, and AEA2380ZXA technical profiles. By monitoring current draw and shell temperature, the K90-11 manages the internal thermal protector's response, preventing motor winding failure and extending the service life of the refrigeration system. This kit ensures a precise match to original equipment manufacturer specifications, maintaining the calibration required for 115V single-phase applications commonly found in light commercial refrigeration.

For technicians performing a teardown or field service, the Tecumseh overload protector kit provides the necessary hardware to restore the factory-spec motor protection circuit. High-ambient environments and clogged condensers often lead to nuisance tripping or protector failure; replacing the aged overload with a genuine Tecumseh K90-11 ensures the compressor operates within its safe thermal envelope. Cross-reference data confirms compatibility with several AEA series compressors, making it a versatile stock item for service vans. Its robust design is built to withstand the high-cycle demands of commercial evaporators and condensing units.

Key Benefits:
  • Ensures precise electrical overload protection to prevent catastrophic motor burnout.
  • Direct OEM compatibility with AEA4430AXA and AEA2411JXA compressor models.
  • Designed for stable performance in 115V/60Hz/1PH refrigeration circuits.
  • Critical for maintaining high-side safety standards in HVACR refrigeration repair.
Common Questions:
  • How do I know if my K90-11 overload is faulty? Use a multimeter to check for continuity across the terminals; an open circuit when the compressor is cool typically indicates a failed bimetal switch.
  • Can this kit be used on other compressor brands? No, this is specifically calibrated for the internal resistance and thermal characteristics of genuine Tecumseh AEA series motors.
  • Does this include the relay and capacitor? This is the K90-11 Overload Kit only; for a full starting component refresh, verify the corresponding relay kit (often K71 series) required for your model.
