The White-Rodgers 3L01-300 is an industrial-grade snap disc limit switch designed for critical temperature regulation in heating systems, including furnaces, blowers, and high-limit safety circuits. This SPST auto reset limit switch is engineered with an open on rise action, providing a precise 300 degree fixed cut-out to prevent overheating. Once the temperature drops to the 250 degree fixed cut-in setpoint, the switch automatically resets, ensuring the system returns to normal operation without manual intervention. Built on the Therm-O-Disc 60T11 style (Type 610026), this component features a 3/4-inch flanged airstream mount with a robust aluminum disc cup for high-speed contact separation and long-term switch life.

For contractors performing field service, the White-Rodgers 3L01-300 offers universal compatibility with standard 3/4-inch mounting footprints and includes 1/4-inch quick-connect terminations. Its high electrical rating of 10A at 120VAC and 25A resistive duty makes it a reliable HVAC replacement limit control for high-demand applications. By utilizing this high temperature limit control, technicians can maintain the safety integrity of residential and light commercial heating equipment while ensuring adherence to original equipment performance standards.

Key Benefits:
  • Automatic Reset Functionality: Eliminates the need for manual restarts after the system cools to the 250°F cut-in temperature.
  • Precision Safety Control: Features a fixed 300°F cut-out point to protect heat exchangers and internal components from thermal damage.
  • Versatile Mounting: Includes a 3/4-inch loose ring and stainless steel mounting brackets for compatibility with various airstream configurations.
  • Heavy-Duty Electrical Rating: Rated for up to 25A resistive at 120/240VAC and 125 VA pilot duty, suitable for a wide range of fan and limit circuits.
  • Fast Installation: The 1/4-inch quick-connect terminals and standard footprint facilitate rapid on-job replacements.
Common Questions:
  • What is the difference between "Open on Rise" and "Close on Rise"? "Open on Rise" (L-series) means the circuit breaks when the temperature reaches the high limit, whereas "Close on Rise" (F-series) targets fan applications where the circuit completes to start a blower.
  • Can this be used as a universal furnace limit switch? Yes, the 3L01-300 is often used as a universal 300 degree limit switch replacement providing the cut-out and cut-in temperatures match the manufacturer's original specifications.
  • What does the "3L" prefix signify? In White-Rodgers nomenclature, "L" stands for Limit, indicating a safety switch that opens as temperature increases.
