Description
Restore cabin cooling with the 2601392 thermostatic switch. This 12/24V adjustable-temperature switch enables operator control of A/C compressor cycling via a knob-style interface. The 36-inch capillary tube accommodates standard evaporator installations in heavy-duty trucks and commercial equipment. Turning the knob adjusts the cut-in temperature across a 33–45°F range with a 5°F clutch cycling band.
Signs You Need a New Thermostatic Switch
- A/C compressor fails to cycle or cycles erratically
- Evaporator ices up even at highest temperature setting
- Air conditioning not responding to operator knob adjustments
- A/C stuck in continuous run mode and cannot be modulated
