I can't see how the new cut-off switch will do more that cut off during a fire.

It's just another safety feature to prevent a fire should the cooling unit fail while operating on 120VAC
From previous posts on this thread, when the cooling unit fails and the coolant is lost, tremendous heat will be generated in the boiler area which "could" lead to a fire. The thermal switch would then shut down the 12 volts to the board preventing further heating. I'm guessing that's what it's all about.
