Blower Motor Resistor: Description and Operation
Blower Motor Thermal Limiter
The thermal limiter, used in the heater blower motor switch resistor, performs the following functions:
^
It serves as a temperature protecting fuse.
^
It is located a predetermined distance away from the resistor coils and in series with the coil circuit.
^
It will open the resistor coil circuit when temperature of the thermal limiter reaches 121°C (250°F), interrupting blower motor operation in all
speeds except HI.
^
The spring contacts separate when the wax softens, opening a circuit in the heater blower motor switch resistor.
^
If the thermal limiter opens the A/C blower motor resistor must be replaced.
