The RHEEM 42-102070-14 -Ruud PRESSURE SWITCH is required for operation of the condensing unit and is used to ensure proper coil cooling. This pressure switch also controls fan operation before the unit enters defrost cycle.
Pressure switches control the operation of your air conditioner or heat pump. When the inside pressure rises above the set point, it tells the air conditioner to turn on. The switch controls a thermostat (thermistor) which either opens or closes an electrical contact, thus allowing current from your home's wiring to operate the unit. It is important that your pressure switch be set correctly, or may cause damage to your air conditioner or heat pump.
A pressure switch is designed to operate a compressor motor so that it cycles on and off to maintain the desired pressure in the water system. This is typically done by flipping a lever that connects two electrical terminals together allowing current to flow, or to disconnect them.
