Tempstar Pressure Switch Kit for TSH560GKA100 — Hi & Lo OEM 1184656/1184655 | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM pressure switch kit includes the high-pressure switch (part #1184656) and low-pressure switch (part #1184655) for the Tempstar TSH560GKA100 heat pump system. Refrigerant pressure switches are critical safety controls that monitor system pressure and shut down the compressor if pressure climbs too high or drops too low, protecting the compressor from catastrophic damage. The high-pressure switch guards against blocked condenser airflow, overcharge, and dirty coils; the low-pressure switch protects against loss of charge, restricted refrigerant flow, and freeze-up conditions. When a pressure switch fails, the unit may short-cycle, refuse to start, trip on safety lockout, or run without cooling. Using genuine OEM switches ensures the trip and reset pressure setpoints exactly match the factory specification for this model.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit OEM replacement for the Tempstar TSH560GKA100 heat pump. These ICP/Heil-family pressure switches are also shared across many comparable Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, and ICP condensing units of the same platform. Always confirm the printed part number on your existing switch before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage at the contactor with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the condenser service panel to expose the refrigerant lines and switch terminals.
3. Document — Photograph all wire connections to each pressure switch before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Pressure switches mount on Schrader-style ports; disconnect the spade terminals and unthread the switch from its fitting (a small amount of refrigerant release is normal on non-self-sealing ports — recover if required by local code).
5. Install — Thread the new switch onto the correct high or low port, snug firmly, and reconnect the spade terminals per your photo.
6. Test — Restore power, start the system, and confirm normal operating pressures with the unit running and no nuisance safety trips.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Compressor will not start or locks out on a safety fault
• Unit short-cycles or trips intermittently with normal charge
• Switch fails a continuity test at known-good pressure
• Visible corrosion, cracked housing, or damaged terminals
