On 2021-04-13 by Ray - Where is the fan limit switch on a Trane Model TWV018B140A1 and how do I replace it?

Where is the fan limit switch on a Trane Model TWV018B140A1 Serial Number K47375594 MFR Date 11/95

Reply by danjoefriedman (mod) - Trane Model TWV018B140A1 fan limit switch location & type

@Ray,

You're asking about the temperature limit control for the air handler for backup heat for a Trane heat pump system.

Typically those units employ a snap-disc type limit control whose sensor is mounted on the air handler in the supply plenum; you'll find it by following wires from the burner control up to the plenum and look for device like those I'll show starting with the SWT01261 American Standard Trane Furnace Limit Switch attached to this note.

Continuing: the limit switch above is not adjustable; it has these properties:
THERMAL LIMIT, OPEN @ 260 F, CLOSE @ 230 DEG F.

Below we show a side view of the same control - this comprises the probe and snap-disc sensor that is inserted into the plenum - you won't see the probe and sensor until the control is removed.

Replacements are sold by HVAC suppliers like arnoldservice.com/

Watch out: be sure to check the part number or your installation manual before ordering a limit control for your specific Trane unit as yours may have a different limit control installed. The key differences are the proper range of operating temperatures.

Your HVACR supplier fan help you be sure you're ordering the right limit control switch for your Trane system when you provide the model number of your unit.

For example the Trane furnace thermal limit control shown below open sat 190, and closes at 160 degF. This is the Trane SWT01612
Thermal Limit, Open at 190, Close at 160, For Use With Mfr. Model Number ADC120C960B5, ADC120C960B6, ADC120C960B7, ADC120C960B8, ADC120C960BA, ADC1D120A9601AA, ADC1D120A9601AB, ADC1D120A9601AC, ADC1D120A9601AD, ADH2D120A960VAA, ADH2D120A9V5VAA, ADH2D120A9V5VAB, ADH2D120A9V5VAC, ADH2D120A9V5VAD, ADH2D120A9V5VBA, Fits Brand Trane
Also widely sold, e.g. at zoro.com/

My own search for
""Furnace limit control switch for Trane Model TWV018B140A1"
turns up more than one switch so I'm not confident that the sales websites will exactly match your unit without further questioning

The Trane Furnace Limit Switch SWT01261 is specifically listed as for the TWV018B140A1 (your unit) according to this online parts vendor: repairclinic.com
and is shown at the start these notes.

Other common Trane limit controls - for other readers - include

Trane SWT1274 Thermal Limit Switch Furnace
Trane SWT01696 (this is a snap disc alone without the mounting probes)
Trane SWT01612 (Trane ADCxxxxx) models


Question: identify the insulating foam block in a 1989 Trane XV90 air handler

Trane XV90 air handler foam insulating block identification request (C) InspectApedia.com Savannah2017/12/05 Savannah said:

I’ve got a 1989 Trane XV90 and I’m curious what these white blocks are.

I got the picture attached

It’s a 1989 Trane XV90 - no manual unfortunately

Reply:

I suspect we're seeing insulation that protects the plastic vent line (probably for a draft inducer or vent) from heat generated in the heat exchanger.

You can find the installation manual for your Trane XV90

at TRANE AIR CONDITIONERS & HEAT PUMPS along with contact information for the company.

I'll post your photo here to invite comments from industry experts and other readers.

I have also sent a note to Trane's technical support at the company's website, to ask for confirmation about the role of this component. - Editor 2017/12/06
