8531 Limit Switch Wiring ?
Am in the middle of a battle trying to swap out the limit switch from my spare 8531-lll I got from a guy, and the OEM 8531-ll in my Class C. I managed to get at the switch in the lll, but no luck y...

I get that the ll's limit switch is mounted up front and lower down while the lll's is mounted farther in and higher up, so I suppose it gets hotter where the lll's goes, and I suppose that is why it has a higher temp limit.
I can swap the ll's back in , since apparently that was not the problem, but what are the risks of leaving the lll's in? It will get hotter before it trips, but is that too dangerously hot for that location--up front and lower down, so that farther in it will get hotter than the 190 would allow if it were in place back up there?
Hummmmm....let's see
8531-ii uses a 130*F switch and you are using a 190*F switch
60*F difference. What could go wrong?
That's what I was asking :) I am ASSuming when the 130 hits 130 where it is in the ll, then that would be 190 back father in and up higher where the 190 goes in a lll.
So, if there is a 60 diff and that is linear, then the 190 down and to the front would let it get to 250 up and farther in.
So what could go wrong if it did get to 250 in there before the limit switch tripped? Does something melt at 230? Wood cabinet gets too hot despite air clearances, return air? I don't know.
Safe play is to put the 130 back in, no question.
