International Comfort Products 1184896 Hi Limit Switch

Product Description

The INTERNATIONAL COMFORT PRODUCTS 1184896 is a genuine OEM high-limit switch designed to protect gas furnace heat exchangers and heating elements from damage caused by overtemperature conditions. When supply-air temperature rises beyond the rated threshold, the switch opens the control circuit and shuts down the burner, preventing component damage and potential safety hazards. Rated at L200-20F, it opens at 200 degrees F and resets at 20 degrees F below that setpoint. Licensed HVAC technicians install this switch as a direct OEM-style replacement during routine furnace service or safety-control diagnostics.

This high-limit switch is intended for residential gas furnace applications where factory-original safety controls are required. It is confirmed to fit G96VTN, G96CTN, and G97CMN furnace units, along with additional compatible models. Installers typically encounter this switch during no-heat service calls where the furnace is cycling on limit or failing to fire after an overtemperature event. Using a genuine OEM part ensures correct setpoint calibration and proper fit in the original mounting location.

Installation Notes

High-limit switch replacement is a licensed HVAC technician task. Before servicing, shut off power to the furnace at the disconnect and set the gas valve to the off position. Confirm the replacement switch matches the original setpoint rating before installation, as mismatched limit controls can cause nuisance lockouts or unsafe operation. Work should comply with applicable local mechanical codes and the furnace manufacturer installation instructions.
