Rheem 47-22861-06 Manual Reset Limit Switch

Product Description

The RHEEM 47-22861-06 is a manual reset limit switch designed for use in electric air handler and heat pump systems. Limit switches serve as a critical safety control, interrupting the circuit when temperatures exceed a safe operating threshold. Unlike auto-reset versions, this manual reset design requires a technician to physically reset the switch after a fault condition, helping prevent repeated cycling that could indicate an underlying problem. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation and service of this component during routine maintenance or fault diagnosis.

This limit switch is a direct OEM replacement intended for specific Rheem air handler and heat pump models. It is used in residential HVAC applications where reliable over-temperature protection is required. Confirmed compatible models include RB2TZ2417J05, RB2TZ2417J07, RB2TZ3621J05, RB2TZ4824J07, RB2TZ6024J10, RBHP17J06SH, RBHP17J07SH, RBHP21J06SH, RBHP24J07SH, and RBHP25J11SH.
