Application
The SWT1936 limit switch is used in Trane furnaces and heating systems to monitor supply air or heat exchanger temperatures. When temperatures rise beyond the 120°F open setpoint — due to restricted airflow, a dirty filter, or other fault conditions — the switch opens to cut power to the burner or heating element, preventing equipment damage and potential safety hazards. The switch automatically resets at 90°F, returning the system to normal operation once the root cause has been resolved.
Why Choose an OEM Trane Limit Switch?
Using a genuine Trane OEM limit switch ensures accurate setpoints, proper electrical ratings, and a direct drop-in replacement with no modifications required. This helps maintain system efficiency, equipment warranty compliance, and the highest level of safety for building occupants.
