Overview
This is a genuine OEM pressure switch assembly (Part No. 1188015) for the Tempstar TVA937GKA101 heat pump. The pressure switch is a safety control that monitors refrigerant pressure and opens or closes the control circuit to keep the compressor from running under unsafe high- or low-pressure conditions. Low charge, a failing coil, or restricted airflow will cause it to break the circuit and shut the unit down before damage occurs. A worn or stuck switch is a frequent cause of intermittent no-cool, short-cycling, and nuisance lockouts. This assembly is calibrated to the exact factory trip and reset points for your model for dependable, code-compliant protection.

Compatibility

Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter before touching any wiring.
- Access — Remove the service panel to expose the control area and refrigerant lines.
- Document — Photograph the switch leads and wire routing before disconnecting anything.
- Remove — Disconnect the electrical terminals, then unthread or unbolt the failed switch from its refrigerant port without twisting the line.
- Install — Thread on the new switch with proper sealant/torque, then reconnect the leads exactly per your photo.
- Test — Restore power and confirm the unit starts, runs, and holds pressure without tripping into lockout.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Unit short-cycles or won't start with a pressure-fault code.
- Intermittent no-cool or no-heat that clears after a reset.
- Switch fails a continuity test against its rated trip/reset points.
