Common Questions

Is the 8402-069BX cross-compatible with older Bard models?
Yes, the 8402-069BX is the official updated version for both the 8402-069 and S8402-069, making it the standard Bard 8402-069BX replacement for older units requiring a 150F auto-limit.

What causes this limit switch to trip frequently?
While the Bard 8402-069BX is highly reliable, frequent tripping usually indicates restricted airflow, such as a clogged filter, a failing blower motor, or oversized ductwork restricting static pressure.

Can I use a manual reset switch instead of this auto-limit?
It is critical to follow the manufacturer's wiring diagram. Replacing a 2.5-150F AUTO Limit Switch with a manual reset version can alter the intended safety sequence of the equipment. Always use the specified OEM Bard temperature switch.
