Tempstar Pressure Switch for TVH824GKA101 — OEM Draft Safety Switch | Ships Today

Overview

This is the OEM Pressure Switch Assembly (part number 1188015) for the Tempstar TVH824GKA101. The pressure switch is a safety device that proves proper inducer draft and venting before the control board allows the burners to fire. It senses the negative pressure generated by the inducer motor and only closes its contacts when combustion gases are being safely exhausted. A failed switch locks out the furnace and produces a no-heat condition with a diagnostic fault code. Common failure symptoms include the furnace failing to ignite, the inducer running without ignition, short cycling on a draft error, or a stuck-open/stuck-closed pressure switch code.
