Tecumseh K90-13 Overload Kit
The Tecumseh K90-13 Overload Kit is a critical external protection component designed for specific Tecumseh reciprocating compressors. This kit functions as a thermal overload protector, monitoring both current draw and internal temperature to prevent motor winding failure during locked rotor or high-head pressure conditions. Engineered for seamless integration with OEM startup components, the K90-13 ensures the compressor remains within its safe operating envelope. Whether you are performing a compressor repair or routine maintenance, replacing a compromised overload is essential to preventing permanent stator damage. This professional-grade HVAC replacement part is built to withstand high-cycle operations in demanding refrigeration environments. By maintaining the correct trip curve, it provides precise compressor motor protection without causing nuisance trips that lead to unnecessary downtime. Technicians should verify the compressor model number to ensure exact electrical matching for proper amperage sensing and thermal response.
Key Performance Benefits
- Ensures compressor motor protection against overheating and overcurrent scenarios.
- Direct OEM replacement overload for precise electrical compatibility and fitment.
- Maintains system reliability by preventing catastrophic failure during locked rotor events.
- Robust construction designed for the high-temperature environment of an HVAC compressor terminal box.
- Effective HVAC troubleshooting solution for compressors failing to start or cycling on thermal limits.
Common Technical Questions
How do I test if the K90-13 overload is defective?
Use a multimeter to check for continuity across the terminals while the part is at room temperature. An open circuit indicates a failed component that requires immediate replacement.
Will this overload kit work with other compressor brands?
This kit is specifically calibrated for Tecumseh compressor parts specifications. Cross-referencing the trip amperage and reset temperature is mandatory before any attempt at universal application.
Does the kit include the mounting spring or clip?
The Tecumseh K90-13 typically includes the overload protector itself; always ensure the existing spring clip is in good condition to maintain proper thermal contact with the compressor housing.
