Description

This OL PTCR combo is a temperature-sensing and limiting assembly that helps protect and control heating circuits. It ensures safer, more reliable temperature response for affected GE appliances and their heating/defrost systems. What it does:

• Acts as a temperature limiter and PTCR (positive temperature coefficient resistor) to help regulate heater current and prevent overheating
• Commonly linked to symptoms like no heat, intermittent heating, or a circuit that fails to cycle properly
• Helps the appliance sense temperature changes and limits current as temperature rises for safety and control
• Works as a replacement for a single integrated sensing/limit component in applicable appliance heating circuits

What's included:

• One OL PTCR combo assembly

Install notes:

• Turn off power at the breaker and unplug the appliance before installing
• Handle the component and connected wires carefully; avoid bending sensing elements or stressing terminals
• Reconnect wiring exactly as removed; confirm secure terminal connections and proper routing away from high-heat surfaces
