The Rheem 47-22862-02 is a genuine OEM limit switch and thermostat designed for reliable thermal protection in compatible Rheem heating systems. This manual reset limit switch is engineered to safeguard your equipment by monitoring temperature thresholds and interrupting operation when unsafe conditions are detected.
Key Specifications
- Part Number: 47-22862-02
- Brand: Rheem
- Type: Limit Switch / Thermostat
- Closes At: 45°F
- Opens At: 280°F
- Reset Type: Manual Reset
How It Works
This limit switch operates by closing the circuit at 45°F, allowing normal system operation, and opening the circuit at 280°F to cut power when temperatures reach a potentially dangerous level. As a manual reset device, the switch must be physically reset after it has tripped, ensuring that the underlying cause of the overtemperature condition is addressed before the system is allowed to resume operation. This built-in safety measure helps prevent repeated thermal events and protects your heating equipment from damage.
Why Manual Reset Matters
Unlike automatic reset limit switches, a manual reset switch requires intentional intervention by a technician or homeowner after a trip event. This design prevents the system from automatically restarting in potentially unsafe conditions, making it an important safety component in residential and commercial heating applications.
Important Notes
- This is a genuine Rheem OEM replacement part, ensuring compatibility and performance standards are met
- Always verify your existing part number before ordering to confirm compatibility with your specific Rheem model
- Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician in accordance with local codes and manufacturer guidelines
