The genuine OEM Lennox 78W99 limit switch is a high-temperature safety control mounted near the heat exchanger of your Lennox furnace. It continuously monitors plenum temperature and shuts off the burners if the unit overheats — typically caused by restricted airflow — protecting the heat exchanger from cracking and preventing a fire hazard.
Signs your limit switch may have failed:
Because the 78W99 is calibrated to a specific trip temperature matched to your Lennox furnace's design, installing the exact OEM part is essential for safe operation. A generic switch with the wrong setpoint can allow dangerous overheating or cause frustrating nuisance trips. Choose the factory 78W99 to keep your Lennox furnace's built-in overheat protection working exactly as engineered.
