Where is the location of the furnace high limit switch?

The furnace high limit switch is typically located near the heat exchanger or burner chamber of the furnace.


What does an aquastat do?

Aquastats are thermostats sensing the temperature of the water itself, and are used basically to stop and start the burner by controlling the electrical circuit. The temperature of the water is held within preset limits by the aquastats. As the temperature of the water drops to the low setting, the aquastat closes a contact and starts the burner. When the temperature reaches the high setting, the aquastat opens the contact and stops the burner. There is usually a high limit setting which will open the contact, if it should fail to open on the automatic HI/LO control. This feature can be contained within the same instrument or it might be a separate unit. What temperature should the aquastat be set at for the boiler?


What is the purpose of the high limit switch in a furnace and how does it function to ensure the safety and efficiency of the heating system?

The purpose of the high limit switch in a furnace is to monitor the temperature inside the furnace. If the temperature exceeds a safe level, the switch shuts off the burner to prevent overheating and potential damage. This helps ensure the safety and efficiency of the heating system by preventing fires and protecting the components from excessive heat.


How can I test the high limit switch in my appliance?

To test the high limit switch in your appliance, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity. First, disconnect the power to the appliance. Then, locate the high limit switch and remove it from the appliance. Set your multimeter to the continuity setting and place the probes on the terminals of the switch. If the switch is working properly, the multimeter should show continuity. If there is no continuity, the switch may be faulty and need to be replaced.
