Lennox 38M69 SPST Limit Switch Overview
The Lennox 38M69 is an OEM replacement SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) high-limit switch engineered to protect furnaces and heating systems from dangerous overtemperature conditions. With a cutout temperature of 240°F and a cut-in (reset) temperature of 210°F, this limit switch reliably interrupts the burner circuit when supply-air temperatures exceed safe operating thresholds, then automatically resets once temperatures return to the normal operating range.
