Tecumseh k90-50 Overload Kit

Product Description

The TECUMSEH k90-50 is a compressor overload kit designed to protect refrigeration and air conditioning compressors from thermal and current overload conditions. The overload device monitors motor operating conditions and interrupts the circuit when excessive heat or current is detected, preventing compressor burnout. This kit is installed by licensed HVAC and refrigeration technicians as part of compressor service or replacement procedures on equipment where the original overload component has failed or is suspect.

The k90-50 overload kit is suited for use in light commercial and residential refrigeration and air conditioning systems that use TECUMSEH compressors. It is typically installed during compressor servicing when the overload protector is identified as a failure point or when performing a thorough compressor diagnostic and restoration procedure.

Key Features

• Designed to replace a failed or degraded compressor overload protector
• Interrupts compressor circuit under thermal or current overload conditions to prevent motor damage
• Kit format provides the necessary components for a complete overload replacement service
• Intended for use with TECUMSEH compressor platforms in refrigeration and HVAC applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement overload kit for TECUMSEH compressors used in residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the unit before accessing the compressor terminal cluster or removing any overload components. Ensure the replacement overload is fully seated and secured to the compressor terminal before restoring power. Follow all applicable local electrical codes and manufacturer service procedures during installation.
