The Williams P323096 Fan Switch is an essential OEM replacement component engineered for precision blower control in Williams Vented Room Heaters and Hearth Heaters. Designed specifically for integration with Williams Blower Accessory models 2101 and 2102, this switch manages the fan cycle to prevent the distribution of cold air during initial startup. By delaying blower activation until the heat exchanger reaches the appropriate temperature—typically around 120°F—this furnace fan limit control ensures consistent occupant comfort and thermal stability. This HVAC blower switch is a direct-fit solution for maintaining the combustion chamber efficiency and protecting the motor from short-cycling. For technicians performing wall heater troubleshooting, replacing a sticky or failed Williams P323096 restores the automatic "fan on" and "fan off" logic required for safe and quiet heater operation. This heavy-duty bimetal control is built to handle the thermal expansion and contraction cycles common in gravity-vented and counterflow units.

Key Benefits
  • OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement for Williams burner assembly and blower kits 2101/2102.
  • Thermal Efficiency: Regulates the fan delay to ensure only heated air is circulated into the living space.
  • System Longevity: Helps prevent blower motor fatigue by maintaining proper operational cycles based on plenum temperature.
  • Quiet Operation: Eliminates the rattling or inconsistent fan speeds associated with failing mechanical switches.
Common Questions

How do I know if my Williams fan switch is bad?
If your blower motor runs continuously even when the heater is off, or if the fan fails to engage after the burner has been firing for several minutes, the bimetal sensor in the switch has likely failed or drifted out of calibration.

Is the P323096 compatible with all Williams Forsaire models?
This specific part is designated for blower assemblies 2101 and 2102. Always verify your heater's model number and the accessory part list, as counterflow and direct-vent models may use different limit controls.

Does this switch require professional calibration?
The Williams P323096 Fan Switch is factory-set for standard operation within Williams vented units. However, ensure the 120V power is disconnected before installation to prevent electrical shock or damage to the gas valve circuit.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • I ordered this part and installed it in my gas heater but the fan blower still does not come on. I removed the fan blower and when powered it does work. How do I test the Fan Switch?

    Everything is interconnected so it could be anything along the line. You have to trace the wires and check the unit wiring diagram to see where the power is lost. You could contact Williams tech support with your unit's model number for troubleshooting issues.

  • is this fan switch compatible for a Williams 3501922?

    It is actually part of the blower that would go on the 3501922.
