Overview
This OEM refrigerant pressure switch set protects the compressor on your Tempstar TSH442GKA101 heat pump. It includes the high-pressure switch (Part No. 1184656) and the low-pressure switch (Part No. 1184655). These 24V safety switches monitor system refrigerant pressure and open the control circuit to shut the unit down before damage occurs — the high-pressure switch trips on a blocked condenser, overcharge, or failed fan, while the low-pressure switch trips on a refrigerant leak, undercharge, or restricted metering device. Typical failure symptoms include a unit that short-cycles, trips out on safety lockout, or refuses to start because a switch is stuck open. Replacing a faulty switch restores reliable protection and normal operation.

Compatibility

Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the service panel to reach the refrigerant lines and control wiring.
- Document — Photograph the wire routing on each switch before disconnecting.
- Remove — Disconnect the spade terminals and unscrew the switch from its Schrader-style fitting; expect minimal refrigerant loss on a sealed self-piercing port.
- Install — Thread the new switch onto the matching port and reconnect the control wires per your photo.
- Test — Restore power, confirm the switches stay closed under normal pressure and the unit runs.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Unit trips out on a high- or low-pressure safety lockout
