Heil Quaker ICP 1013105 Limit Switch

The Heil Quaker ICP 1013105 Limit Switch is a critical safety component for field technicians servicing International Comfort Products (ICP) residential and light commercial equipment. This genuine OEM replacement part is engineered as a primary furnace temperature limit switch, specifically designed to monitor internal plenum temperatures and prevent heat exchanger damage. This high-precision 110-130F AUTO limit switch features an automatic reset mechanism, opening the electrical circuit when temperatures reach 130°F and closing once the system cools to 110°F. As the direct replacement for 1003174, it ensures seamless compatibility during maintenance calls for Heil Quaker furnace parts and packaged units. The 1013105 serves as a reliable HVAC safety switch, preventing dangerous overheating conditions in packaged unit components by terminating the burner or heating cycle when airflow is restricted or temperatures exceed safe operating parameters.

Key Benefits for Contractors:

• OEM Precision: Guaranteed 130F - 20 B trip point ensures the system operates strictly within manufacturer-specified safe zones.
• Direct Compatibility: Built for GPCM18K040E, GPCM18K040F, and GPCM18K040D units, reducing time spent on-site verifying fitment.
• Automatic Reset: Reliable automatic reset limit switch functionality eliminates unnecessary manual interventions during normal temperature fluctuations.
• System Longevity: High-grade ICP HVAC replacement parts provide superior resistance to thermal fatigue compared to generic alternatives.

Common Technical Questions:

Is the 1013105 compatible with different ICP brands?
Yes, as a genuine International Comfort Products part, this switch is compatible with various brands under the ICP umbrella, including Heil, Quaker, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker, provided the technical specifications align with the original model requirement.

What symptoms indicate a failing limit switch?
Common indicators include the furnace blower running continuously (a failsafe mode), the unit short-cycling, or the burner failing to ignite due to an open safety circuit.

Can I use a higher temperature limit switch as a substitute?
No. For safety and equipment protection, you must use the exact 110-130F range specified by the OEM. Using a higher limit can lead to heat exchanger failure or hazardous operating conditions.
