Description

This high pressure switch monitors system pressure and helps protect the compressor and refrigeration system from unsafe high-pressure conditions. Replaces a failed or intermittent pressure-sensing switch to restore proper pressure monitoring and safety control. What it does:

• Senses elevated system pressure and signals the control to shut down or prevent compressor operation when pressure is too high
• Helps prevent compressor damage and system overpressure events
• Can stop or prevent cooling interruptions caused by a stuck or failed pressure switch
• Common symptom: unit runs but cooling is inconsistent or compressor cycles off on pressure-related faults

What's included:

• One high pressure switch

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before accessing electrical components; follow all safety precautions
• Handle the switch and fittings carefully to avoid damaging the diaphragm or terminals
• Verify electrical connections and system pressure per OEM service instructions after replacement
